Freshly elected Hall of Fame pitcher Mike Mussina starred for both the Orioles and New York Yankees in his career, with each team staking a claim for the cap he's enshrined wearing on his plaque.
Mussina steered clear of making any declarations Tuesday night, going as far as saying he can't make a decision. He then almost dodged answering another question about his hat at Wednesday's Hall of Fame news conference in New York, but said he hadn't decided yet.
"The situation is unique," he said. "I almost split my career down the middle with two organizations. I told you yesterday, right now I couldn't sit here and choose one over the other. They're both instrumental to me sitting here. So, I think we've got a little bit of time here to talk it over with the Hall of Fame and with the people there, and I think all of us put together will come to the right decision, whatever it is. But as I sit here right now, no, I have not decided."
There's also the option of going in as neutral, one taken by newly elected pitcher Roy Halladay's widow Wednesday. The previous player to do that was fellow 1990s star pitcher Greg Maddux, who split his Hall of Fame career between the Chicago Cubs and Atlanta Braves.
Maddux's decision in 2014 was one made in conjunction with the Hall of Fame, which takes input from inductees but ultimately makes the decision. The Chicago Tribune reported that at the time, 128 of the 300 inductees in the Hall of Fame went in without a cap. Catfish Hunter was the last before Maddux, and he was inducted in 1987.
