"Cap choices decide which team a Hall of Famer will represent, and typically is given to the team with which the player defined his career. Players used to choose their team on their own, but now they work with the Hall of Fame to determine the club they'll represent in Cooperstown. If players impacted the game with multiple teams, they can enter without a cap logo."
"His numbers with the Dodgers were solid, but he was a far superior player with the Giants. Kent hit a majority of his home runs with San Francisco, tallying 175 in orange and black. He won the 2000 MVP award with the Giants, and made three consecutive All-Star Games from 1999-2001. He also had three consecutive Silver Slugger awards from 2000-02."
Hall of Fame cap selections for the Class of 2026 designate Jeff Kent wearing a San Francisco Giants cap and Andruw Jones wearing an Atlanta Braves cap; Carlos Beltran will wear a Mets cap. Cap decisions determine which team a Hall of Famer will represent and are typically given to the team that defined the player's career. Players no longer unilaterally choose the logo; the Hall of Fame now works with inductees to determine the club represented in Cooperstown. If a player impacted the game with multiple teams, the plaque can enter without a cap logo. Kent’s most notable achievements occurred with the Giants, including a 2000 MVP.
