The Hawk Enters The Hall
By Marcus Gilmer in News on Jul 26, 2010 2:20PM
Former Cub great Andre Dawson was inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame yesterday, albeit as an Expo, but, hey, whatever, we all knew him as a Cub, right? Dawson was the only player inducted this year and he went in alongside manager Whitey Herzog and umpire Doug Harvey. Major League Baseball's decision to induct Dawson as an Expo, despite Dawson expressing some hope he'd go in as a Cub, prevented us from having a Cub enter alongside a long-time Cardinal great (Herzog). Still, there were plenty of Cubs fans there to cheer Dawson's induction (what else are they going to cheer this year?). Said Dawson, "And from my heart, thank you Cubs fans. You were a true a blessing in my life. I didn't know what it was like to be loved by a city until I got to Chicago. ... You were the wind beneath the Hawk's wings." After the jump, check out an equally cheesy musical dedication to Dawson and his time at Wrigley.
