Clemens goes in as a Red Sox, and I can't imagine anybody arguing this.

No one can argue that his best years were clearly in Boston. My guess is the Boston fans don't have much love for the rocket.

Piazza should go in as a Met imo, but that is probably partially tained from living in that market and across the country from the Dodgers. His production with both teams was at least comparable, and he became much more of a star with the Mets. He also went to a World Series with them.

Alomar should be a Blue Jay. The two titles are the deciding factor for me.

Maddox isn't even close in my mind. I can't imagine anyone saying he shouldn't go in as a Brave.

can Piazza choose to go in as a Marlin or is there some kind of games-played requirement forbidding that? that would be funny if he could make it happen.

The player does not decide which cap he wears unless it's a close decision. Piazza might be asked to chose between the Dodgers or the Mets though.

Bless the fine folks at Fire Joe Morgan for bringing us Joe's solid stance on the Piazza/HOF cap issue:

[ QUOTE ]
Bobby ( Staten Island, New York): When Mike Piazza gets inducted into the HOF what hat do you think he should wear?


Joe Morgan: What we do as the board at the HoF, we look at what team he had the most success and what team he was most identified with. When it's a close call, we do take into consideration what they want. But they don't get to choose, because some teams have offered to pay players to wear their hat when they go into the HoF.


dak: Huh. Okay, I think I knew that already, but that was pretty informative. NOW WHAT [censored] HAT DO YOU THINK PIAZZA SHOULD WEAR?

you so smart, JoA. thanks for the clarification. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]


i think he should go in as a Dodger, though, if given the option.

Re: Whose cap does Piazza wear in the HOF?
 

Piazza should go in as a Dodger imo. Without a doubt his best years came as a Dodger and he should've won an MVP at least once in those years (95/96/97).

Re: Whose cap does Piazza wear in the HOF?
 

I vote Mets for Piazza. Five strong years for both clubs plus three average years for the Mets. Piazza never won a play off game as a Dodger and played a few more years for the Mets. More years, more play off wins and strong stats for both clubs pushes it to the Mets for me.
