When with all this outpouring of cubbie love, Andre Dawson goes into the Hall of Fame with an Expos hat on.

Does it really matter what hat he wears?

Probably about as funny as when Pudge went in to the hall in a Red Sox hat.

To me, it kinda does. I grew up watching and admiring him as a Cub.


I have a "Sports Room" with a lot of Dawson memorabilia. I'd love to add to that having something from the Hall Of Fame with him wearing a Cub hat.

I loved him too, but I dont need to be reminded that he is a Cub by the HOF. If he goes in as a Cub great, if not, that is great too. I am just glad he is there.

What difference does it make?
It's not his choice anyway.
I loved watching him as a Cub, but he made his
mark as an Expo.
I am sure the league will put him in iin an Expo cap>

i love the old expos hat too. i got both the classic and the modern one. but the modern one is in horrible shape since i've used it while running for the past two years. so it's pretty disgusting.

Just my preference. I won't lose any sleep over it. If you look closely in my picture, I have an autographed photo of him wearing a Redsox uni.

i'd just be nice to see him with the C on the hat.

I'm not sure that they will want him to have the 'spos hat on the plaque. Cubs Nation is HUGE and is a much bigger draw to Cooperstown than the fanbase of an extinct team.

You know that thats a tri-colored script "M" an not a 'ELB'

I didn't know that until somewhat recently. Kinda like how people think the 80s Brewers logo is just a ball and a glove, but it really is a "M" "B"

Are there any Expo greats in the HOF? Are there any Expo greats?

Expos = Great farm team for other MLB teams.

Frankie, it is an "M" with an "e" and "b" superimposed into it. It stands for Montreal expos baseball.

I have no idea what it was supposed to mean, I just thought it was ELB for a long time. They're fuckin french up there, who knows what they do. The Expos were PeeWee Herman's favorite team.

By the numbers it makes more sense for him to go in as an Expos representative.

I have to admit that I never knew that. I always wondered about the logo, but never cared enough to find out what it stood for.

After all, Rusty Staub & that asshole Gary Carter were "the" fan favorites back in the day, screw Expo fans...
