    Dawson says Hall will induct him as Expo, despite preference to go as Cub


    CHICAGO - Andre Dawson will be inducted into the Hall of Fame as a Montreal Expo, despite his preference to go in as a Chicago Cub.

    The Hall announced its decision Wednesday. Dawson told WMVP-AM in Chicago he thought Hall officials would discuss the issue with him in detail before the decision was made.

    Well he wanted to go in as a White Sock. But I guess MLB wants to acknowledge the history of the Expos in some manner.

    Cub Roy. He want to go in as a Cub.

    The part I don't get is they don't consult the inductee? Seems like they didn't even ask him what he wanted.

    They used to be able to until it was found out that the Tampa Bay Devil Rays put a bonus in Wade Boggs deal when he signed with them that he'd earn extra money if he agreed to enter the HOF as a Devil Ray.

    He's going to be in the HOF. Who cares as what team he'll go in for. Pete Rose can't even get in and if he did I doubt he would care for what team at this point.

    As previously mentioned, I believe its based upon the fact that theres no Expos represented

    You are wrong. Gary Carter is in representing the Expos.
