just another kick in the nuts to cub fans

I can understand your feelings. As a White Sox fan I was not happy when Carlton Fisk entered the Hall with a Red Sox cap...and worse...he chose to do that! That hurt!

I know everyone on the east coast forgot he played for the White Sox...but he was the face of our franchise for a decade...and played more games in White Sox than he did Red Sox! Oh well...I got over it and I still think of him being a great ambassador of the game!

I wish we were still in college together. I would punch you in the face right now.

Out of the 2 of us, only one of us has ever lost/chipped a tooth. My face isn't made of glass.

Ok, since we're on the subject of the Expos, what is up with that logo? I've always tried to figure out what it is exactly. Maybe someone can give some different perspective of it but I always thought it looked like it said "elb." But now that I look at it again, I guess it could look like a capital M, which makes more sense.

According to wikipedia it is a stylized M for Montreal that also contains a red "e" for expos and blue "b" for baseball.

They didn't pay him much as Cub did they? Maybe that's coming back to bit them?

Rhino went in as a Cub....

It's not Dawson's decision. It's the halls.

They were GOOD in 94....

Too bad he's not going in as a Cub but can't fault him for that decision... he played most of his career for the defunct squad of the Expos

I think they were trying a little too hard to be too creative...but what do I know.

Who else was Ryno going to go in as, a Phillie? He played there for part of a year, then the Cubs for the rest of his career.

is the baseball HOF the only one that makes you "pick" your team? I'm a little confused as to why they wouldn't just say you were a "baseball HOFer" rather than a "Expos HOFer" ... and just list who you played for.

This is probably one of those baseball things that is tradition right?

No argument. I just like the fact he's in as a Cub....

He will go in as an Expo, Cub, Red Sox, and Marlin. The only distinguishing factor will be the hat he is wearing on his bronze plaque. In this case it will be an Expos hat. The plaque will list all the teams he played for and in what years.

[Cyforce]

As a Cub fan this doesn't bother me at all.
He gave the Cubs everything he had left and
loved being a Cub. He was an Expo for 11 years
so MLB made the right decision. I doubt this
changes how the vast majority of Cub fans
feel about the Hawk.

[mac4cy]

That sucks. Being a Cubs fan I was really hoping he was going in with that hat. Oh well I am used to disappointment.
