Seeing that I am an Expo/National fan since Day 1 in 1969, I hope he goes in as an Expo. Some mis guided (Cubs fans) people think as a Cub. What do you guys think?

    Marlins.

    But seriously I think he will go in as a Cub. His best years were as a Cub but it's not an easy choice. If the Expos still existed I think he would go in as an Expo but with the franchise basically dead I say Cubs.
    Learn some history of the game. Join a vintage base ball team in your area and get out there.

    Interesting political debate here since the Expos no longer exist. My guess is that the Hall will choose to put him in as an Expo, but MLB is sure to at least nudge them to consider putting the Cubs hat on the plaque.

    Like I said before, I'm hoping Expos. He played 11 or 12 years with Expos and 5 or 6 with the dreaded Cubs.

    Seeing that there is only one player - Gary Carter - that is in the hall in Expo uniform, I hope Dawson becomes the second.

    Let's start a campaign to get Claude Raymond in - that way all those frickin' cards of his might actually be less annoying.

    The Hall decides right? Not Dawson himself.

    If I recall correctly, didn't they have issue with Boggs and Carter in the past (think Carter wanted to go in as a Met)

    I think the problem was players were selling it into the contract (IE give me extra dough and I will go in as a Devil Ray etc.)

    FWIW I say put him in as a Cub. If he never played in Chicago he may still be waiting. My apologies to the 7 Expos fans.

    You are forgetting 2 key statistics that play into the minds of the Hall of Fame folks...

    All Star:
    Expos - 3
    Cubs - 5

    MVP:
    Expos - 0
    Cubs - 1

    Alas, growing up a Cubs fan I was a huge Dawson fan... as a Cub that is... and I'd love to see him go in the HOF with a Cubs cap on. It's gonna be a tough decision, but even I have to believe the Expos would be the RIGHT decision!

    That is correct; the HOF leadership determines what team each nominee represents.

    This supposedly resulted from Dave Winfield reportedly accepting $1M and a job with the Padres, to go in as a Padre.

    What that surface did to him is the main reason I am happy they no longer have a team

    If Fred McGriff had gotten in, he would have worn that stupid puffy hat from Dave Ezmanski's Baseball School

    He spent more years as an Expo, but his best years were as a Cub. I could see either way.

    either way he goes in they should give his bronze bust a baby blue tint to reflect all those horrible road uniforms he had to wear. That being said, I thought the baby blues were pimp tight.

    Why don't the Cubs just move to Montreal?
