An intriguing question for the price of the temple of baseball renown of each year is which ceiling an enthronement will carry on its plate.
However, Among the class of five men 2025The only player who really had a question about his cap was CC Sabathia. Sabathia began her career with the ClevelandLaunch for them for eight seasons and win an Al Cy Young Prize with the franchise in 2007.
However, Sabathia is probably better known for its time with the New York YankeesFor whom he launched 11 seasons. He won a World Series championship in Pinstripes and recorded his only season of 20 victories (21 victories in 2010) with the team.
In that spirit, it should not be a surprise that The renowned temple announced on Monday This sabathia will wear a Yankees cap on its CoopStown plate. He is the only inducted among this year’s class which will not carry the ceiling of his original team.
He has been looking at this way for a while. But Dick Allen will go to the temple of fame in July as a phillie.
Other choice of ceiling announced by the room today:
Ichiro-Marins
CC-Yankees
Wagner-Astros
Parker-piratesThe 5 except CC enter the hall reapplying their original teams.…

Ichiro Suzuki will wear a Seattle Mariners cap. Billy Wagner, who launched for five MLB clubs, will wear a Astric of Houston Cape on his plate.
Dave Parker played for six teams during his 19 -year -old career, but played 11 seasons for the Pirates of PittsburghWhich makes it clear. And Dick Allen, elected by the classical era committee, will have a Philadelphia Phillies Cap, representing the team with which he played nine seasons.
There has been a false idea over the years that players choose the cap they carry on their plates. (False rumors on Player paid teams to wear their ceiling Also have persisted.) Although the players certainly have comments on the issue, the temple of renowned baseball finally made the decision.
However, Some enthronements have not opted for any logos on their plates. Perhaps they were afraid to offend all the teams or bases of fans. Or maybe they just felt that it was not fair to distinguish one team on another to represent a career.
For example, Mike Mussina chose to wear a virgin cap on his plate after launching 10 seasons with the Baltimore Orioles And eight with the Yankees. Fred McGriff, Roy Halladay, Greg Madadux, Tony La Russa and Jim Leyland are among the recents in the fame of fame that also opted for an empty cap.
“It always starts with a conversation,” said former president of the baseball renowned temple Jeff Idelson said to the New York Times in 2014. “We work with them with an eye around 50, so that an occasional visitor does not look at their plates, does not scratch their heads and do not say:” Huh? “”
