Committee Chairman
1992 SEMI-FINAL RESULTS: Thank you for your participation in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project.

We also follow the structure in which players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool. Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the…

Andre Dawson's Cooperstown Plaque Changed
Mar 13, 2026
Written by
Committee Chairman
Andre Dawson is getting his wish…sort of. When Dawson was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2010, he requested that the hat on his plaque be the Chicago Cubs’ “C”. The Hall nixed the request and enshrined him with the Montreal Expos hat instead.

Dawson again requested in 2023 that the hat be changed, but instead, the Hall compromised by making his hat have no logo at all. This reflects the Hall’s…
