Cubs hat or Expos hat?

While quite a class act, with such a low OBP and batting average, its amazing he is in. But them, he shouldnt have gotten that MVP on a last place team.

A good day for Hawks

How many of you realize the hat choice is not the player's choice? The HOF selects the hat for the player.

Andre Dawson said he may put on a Chicago Cubs hat during his Hall of Fame induction speech - ESPN Chicago

That's a BS ruling.

 

[BeerZaux]

it's BS he can't choose which hat he wears- Isn't it suppose to be his day?

For Cubs fans who have Comcast Sportsnet, they are replaying a Cub game from August 1, 1987. Andre Dawson hits 3 HRs. For fun, here's a link to the box score. It's fun to see the Cubs like Sandberg, Durham, Moreland. Jim Sundberg (who went to Iowa) is the starting catcher for the Cubs on this day.
