CC to have Yanks logo in HOF; Astros for Wagner
Briefly

CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner will have their Hall of Fame plaques adorned with the New York Yankees and Houston Astros logos, respectively. This year's inductees, including Ichiro Suzuki (Seattle Mariners), Dave Parker (Pittsburgh Pirates), and Dick Allen (Philadelphia Phillies), were also announced. The decision for the cap logos rests with the Hall of Fame, which took over the process in 2002 to prevent conflicts of interest, after reports of teams trying to influence choices. The formal induction ceremony is scheduled for July 27.
CC Sabathia’s Hall of Fame plaque will honor his time with the New York Yankees, while Billy Wagner will be represented by the Houston Astros logo.
The Hall of Fame ultimately decides on the logo displayed on inductee plaques, as it assumed this responsibility from the players starting in 2002.
