Mike Mussina: Blank cap for Hall of Fame was my only choice

In the immediate aftermath of getting the call to the Hall of Fame, Mike Mussina had not yet figured out which cap — Orioles or Yankees — he would wear on his plaque.

The next day, with a night to sleep on it, he still had no decision.

Looking back on it now, nearly six months later, Mussina said there was never much of a debate in his mind after all.

“Honestly, it wasn’t a very tough decision at all. I kind of made it in about three or four minutes,” Mussina said on a conference call Friday, just over a week before he will be inducted with no logo on his plaque in Cooperstown.
