The Hall selects the logo on the hat "based on where that player makes his most indelible mark." Although the Hall always made the final decision on which logo was shown, until 2001 the Hall deferred to the wishes of players or managers whose careers were linked with multiple teams. A few examples of players/managers with multiple teams are Frank Robinson (Reds**, Orioles*, Dodgers, Angels, Indians, Giants, Expos), Catfish Hunter (A's**, Yankees**) Nolan Ryan (Mets**, Angels**, Astros**, Rangers*), Reggie Jackson (A's**, Orioles, Yankees*, Angels), Carlton Fisk (Red Sox*, White Sox**), Sparky Anderson (Phillies, Reds*, Tigers**) and Dave Winfield (Padres*, Yankees**, Angels, Blue Jays, Twins, Indians). As said before, in 2001 the Hall decided defer to the inductee for the cap's insigne. Players affected by this change included Gary Carter (Expos*, Mets^, Giants, Dodgers), Wade Boggs (Red Sox*, Yankees, Devil Rays^) and Andre Dawson (Expos*, Cubs^, Red Sox, Marlins)
