Many of the early Philly stars either have blank caps or no caps at all on their plaques. That means the baton could be passed to a current star such as Matt Chapman.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Atlanta fans have enjoyed one heck of a run recently as the stars of the dynastic s Braves teams have made their way to Cooperstown. Maddux is the notable exception, as he chose to go sans logo after pitching half of his career with the Cubs. McGriff enjoyed virtually all of his postseason success with Atlanta. If McGriff is given a different cap or perhaps goes without a logo , it's interesting to ponder whether Craig Kimbrel would represent his original club if he makes it to Cooperstown.
Yount was a no-brainer as a lifelong Brewer beginning with his debut at age His longtime teammate, Molitor, could have very well worn a Blue Jays cap after finally winning a World Series with Toronto in , but he wound up representing the club with which he recorded roughly two-thirds of 3, hits. If Gary Sheffield somehow finds his way into Cooperstown it would likely need to be through the Veterans Committee , there's a chance he could make a sentimental choice with his original club in Milwaukee.

La Russa's three NL pennants and two World Series titles in a Cardinals uniform made him a likely candidate, but he went in without a logo due to his early success in Chicago and Oakland.
Would Albert Pujols go in with a St. Louis cap? At this point, there's no question the better half of his career was in St. Plenty of Cubs caps are in the Plaque Gallery despite the franchise's year title drought between and , but a few old-timer exceptions like Three-Fingered Brown, Johnny Evers, and Joe Tinker are not on the list simply on account of their logo-less heydays. Perhaps the Veterans Committee will be more forgiving to Sammy Sosa as opinions continue to evolve on baseball's "Steroid Era.
The D-backs franchise enjoyed pretty quick success when it won a World Series title in its fourth year of existence, and Johnson's induction gave them a Hall of Famer in short order, too. While the Big Unit had his share of success in Seattle, his four consecutive Cy Young Awards in the desert made his cap logo a pretty easy choice.
One can't tell the D-backs' history to this point without Curt Schilling, who became an October legend with the Red Sox, too. His Cooperstown case has been contentious, and he has one year of eligibility left in It's strange to note how many years have passed since Sutton most recently went in with a Dodgers cap.
Mike Piazza could have easily gone in as a Dodger, but his star burned brighter in Queens. There's some very remote possibilities with fringe candidates like Jeff Kent, Manny Ramirez and Gary Sheffield, but Dodger fans might as well start planning five years from whenever Clayton Kershaw hangs up his spikes.
The southpaw would probably be a first-ballot Hall of Famer if he retired tomorrow. Vladimir Guerrero was probably the last viable Expos candidate, but he chose to enter the Hall representing the Angels. But never say never: If a Major League team winds up back in Montreal, perhaps another Expos Hall of Famer is in the offing decades from now. The Giants have played more modern-era baseball in San Francisco than they did in upper Manhattan, and both eras of the franchise are amply represented.
The biggest omission here is probably Mel Ott, who is capless on his Hall plaque. There's a slugger named Barry Bonds who dominates a fair amount of the conversation each voting season. Bonds' Hall case looks like it's going to go down the wire, with the clock ticking toward his final year of BBWAA eligibility in -- the same year that two-time Cy Young winner Timothy Lincecum will likely bring his fascinating case to the ballot.
Jeff Kent is another possibility, though he has a lot of ground to make up. Thome hit of his homers for teams not based in Cleveland, but his cap choice still seemed fairly straightforward.
Lajoie's popularity caused the Cleveland franchise to be known as the 'Naps' for a brief period in time. Manny Ramirez could go with his original club, but his Hall case looks like a longshot.
The Tribe's best hope could lie with Omar Vizquel, who has polled well with traditional voters. The only way Griffey wasn't going to don a Mariners logo was if his plaque had him wearing a backwards cap. Johnson won his first Cy Young with Seattle, but unquestionably reached his peak with the D-backs.
Martinez's candidacy made Seattle fans hold their breath for a full decade, but the sweet-swinging DH finally got in on his last year of BBWAA eligibility. Ichiro Suzuki will be a slam-dunk first-ballot choice.
Marlins Miami fans' best hopes for now rest with Sheffield, who hit homers in teal and helped the Marlins capture their first World Series title in Giancarlo Stanton nearly hit 60 homers in his MVP season in a Miami uniform, but if he wins a ring, it will be with the Yankees or another club down the line.
