Thus prompting the change in the HOF rules, wear they choose the cap.

I don't know why I have always thought this was the case so tell me if im wrong or right. Either way it doesnt change the fact that I love the man.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
You are thinking of Wade Boggs. He signed his Tampa Bay contract with a guarantee that he'd wear a Devil Ray hat. The HoF got wind of this and instituted the rule that they get to pick the cap.

I know Boggs did it but I have also heard that Dawson said the same thing.
