Vladimir Guerrero to wear Angels, not Expos, cap on HOF plaque

NEW YORK -- Vladimir Guerrero will become the first player to wear an Angels hat on his Hall of Fame plaque.

Guerrero spent more time in Montreal, leading many to think he would sport an Expos cap.

Guerrero made the announcement Thursday, a day after he was elected to the Hall by an overwhelming margin. The Hall gets the final say on how a player is depicted in the plaque gallery in Cooperstown, New York.

The slugger played the first eight seasons of his career in Montreal, spending half his career with the Expos. He joined the Anaheim Angels as a free agent in 2004 and played six seasons with them, including their rebranding as the Los Angeles Angels.
