What team's hat is displayed for former New York met and hall of fame catcher Gary carter in the hall of fame?

Answer 1

In his sixth year on the ballot, Gary Carter was elected into the Hall with Eddie Murray on January 7, 2003. Carter requested that his plaque be half Expo and half Met. The media took this request as one of his jokes but soon realized the legitimate debate to which team Carter should be associated with. During his final season, as an Expo, Carter said he'd prefer being inducted as an Expo. However; with the uncertainty of the Expo franchise and Carter working for the Mets since retiring, winning his only World Series as a Met and becoming a media celebrity in New York, Carter became torn between the two teams leaving the final decision to the Hall. The Hall's president, Dale Petroskey, said that Carter's achievements with the Expos over 12 seasons would've earned his induction, where his 5 seasons as a Met wouldn't have. Mets fans argued that Reggie Jackson was inducted with a Yankees cap despite playing the majority of his career with the A's beforehand, but had no effect and Carter was inducted as an Expo. He was inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame in 2001.
