    Well, if you're to believe a previous post, it wasn't up to Fisk anyway. If it isn't up to Greg, he'll go in as a Brave.

    I didn't even know it was up to the Hall until I read this. According to Cubs beat reporter Carrie Muskat, it is.

    It's not up to the players. And if the Hall thinks he should go in as a Cub, it's a bit of a joke.

    I believe it stemmed from Wade Boggs and the Rays.

    It was a great day to be Cub's Fan. Greg Maddux was Cub for a long time and did a great job.

    Thats interesting. I always assumed that it was up to the player to decide which hat he wore. Oh well, Greg going in as a Brave won't diminish or cheapen anything he accomplished as a Cub.

    Got a Cy Young, a couple of Gold Gloves, and his 300th win and 3,000th strikeout wearing a Cubs uni.

    Well you have to remember, with baseball, they usually do things the opposite of what you would think is right.
