Overview
- The Hall's board voted unanimously to give Dawson a no-logo cap and will recast his plaque to reflect the change.
- The decision mirrors the blank-cap option the Hall introduced in 2014 for inductees not tied primarily to a single franchise.
- The outcome follows more than two years of discussions and was presented as a compromise resolving Dawson’s request to revisit the Expos cap.
- No other elements of Dawson’s Cooperstown plaque will be altered, according to the Hall.
- Dawson, who says he identifies most with the Cubs, plans to be at their Opening Day and welcomed the chance to represent each club fairly.
