Dawson says he voted for Selig for Hall
OXON HILL, Md. — Three decades after collusion, Andre Dawson put past feelings aside and voted to induct Bud Selig into the Hall of Fame.
“For me, it was a no-brainer,” the Hall of Fame outfielder said Monday.
“I vote based on the big picture,” Dawson said. “What he accomplished as commissioner, when you think about a guy of his stature, you really can’t do anything perfectly,” Dawson said.
Dawson, inducted into the Hall in 2010, was among the victims when owners conspired against free agents following the 1985, 1986 and 1987 seasons, which led to a $280 million settlement between Major League Baseball and the players’ association.
