Greg Maddux “My wife Kathy and I grew up in baseball in Chicago, and then we had just an amazing experience in Atlanta with the Braves. It's impossible for me to choose one of those teams for my Hall of Fame plaque, as the fans of both clubs in each of those cities were so wonderful. I can't think of having my Hall of Fame induction without support of both of those fan bases, so, for that reason, the cap on my Hall of Fame plaque will not feature a logo.”

dont think so. Pretty sure the HOF decides.
My bad you're right

In 2001, the Hall decided that it would no longer defer to the inductee, though the player's wishes would be considered, when deciding on the logo to appear on the plaque.

Actually, the player gets to decide, with approval of hall.
Larussa had a spiel about White Sox/A's/Cardinals so he chose No Logo

I thought I remembered something about this. What's the reasoning behind this? Why would the HOF ever go against them?

Yeah, it's all on the Wiki page

In 2001, the Hall of Fame decided to change the policy on cap logo selection, as a result of rumors that some teams were offering compensation, such as number retirement, money, or organizational jobs, in exchange for the cap designation. (For example, though Wade Boggs denied the claims, some media reports had said that his contract with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays required him to request depiction in the Hall of Fame as a Devil Ray.)

Posted on 1/23/14 at 1:31 pm to GeauxAggie972

Like i said, Players get to choose, as long as Hall approves. You can call it the Boggs rule.

Agreed.
Between the way he left Atlanta and the no log I'm more than pissed.

Sounds like Brian McCann needs to teach Maddux a little something about respect for the game.
