Hall of Fame caps revealed: Pedro’s wearing the Red Sox

The Baseball Hall of Fame announced Thursday which caps the rest of the 2015 class of inductees would wear on their plaques, and there was little surprise — unless you were holding on to hope that Pedro Martinez would somehow wear a Montreal Expos cap.

That, admittedly, would have been cool. (Apologies to Boston).

The biggest decision, if you had missed it, had already come down, with the Hall deciding that Randy Johnson would be enshrined as a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks and not the Seattle Mariners. That, too, was expected.

His 2015 peers:

• Pedro Martinez — Boston Red Sox
• John Smoltz — Atlanta Braves
• Craig Biggio — Houston Astros

A couple of no-duh choices there with Smoltz and Biggio (particular Biggio, who only played for the Astros). Martinez seemed like a good bet to wear the Red Sox cap, but it’s Pedro, so who knows. He’s such a character, he could have campaigned to have Don Zimmer on his plaque and we wouldn’t be surprised. 

Just as long as the Hall of Fame doesn’t forget to include his Jheri curl. Got that, guys? It’s a must.
