Torre going into Hall of Fame as Yankee; Maddux’s cap blank

Joe Torre will go into Cooperstown wearing a Yankees hat.

The Hall of Fame made the announcement Thursday.

“When I became the manager of the New York Yankees, it was an opportunity to realize my lifelong dream of winning the World Series,” Torre said in a statement. “We were fortunate enough to succeed in our first season in 1996, and in the years that followed, we wrote some great new chapters in Yankee history. I am honored that I will wear the Yankee logo on my cap in Cooperstown to represent what our teams achieved together.”

Torre played for the Braves, Cardinals and Mets before managing the Mets, Braves, Cardinals, Yankees and Dodgers. He won four World Series titles in The Bronx.

Tom Glavine and Bobby Cox will enter with Atlanta logos and Frank Thomas with the White Sox, while Tony LaRussa and Greg Maddux will both go in without logos on their hats.

The six will be inducted during ceremonies on July 27.
