Hat Boy Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 1 hour ago, VikWings said: Wade Boggs requested a Devil Rays hat and they didn’t honor that. Because it was public knowledge that the Devil Rays were going to pay Boggs if he chose a Devil Rays hat. Furthermore, this situation is different, as the block C hat is still an Indians hat.

Indeed - that caused the Hall of Fame to take the choice away from the players, when Boggs sold his to the Devil Rays. Was really bad form. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

BBTV Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Why does he need a hat at all? Is there a rule about the design of the plaque? I get that baseball players are usually more recognizeable with their caps on, but in this era of players - even HOF-caliber ones - playing for 9 or 10 teams, it’s too tough to put a label on a guy, and some neutral option should exist.

Its not at all unprecedented for a player to go in without a cap. George Sisler’s plaque is cap-less: It seems like there’s another one without a cap, but I can’t remember whom. Anyways, it’s certainly doable. EDIT: Just remembered the other one. It’s Mel Ott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's predicting how people will constantly forget him when describing the best first basemen to play to the game (he's 21st on baseball-references JAWS scale for first basemen).

BBTV Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Well then problem solved - this was much ado about nothing.
