American Hall of Famer and Chicago Cubs legend whose 1987 NL MVP season, exceptional arm and consistent outfield excellence produced a career that spanned four decades and earned him the nickname 'The Hawk'.
Andre Dawson was one of baseball's finest all-around players, a six-time Gold Glove Award winner who combined exceptional outfield defence with impressive power. The 1987 NL MVP — extraordinarily, for a last-place Cubs team — was one of the most feared hitters of his era with 438 career home runs. His powerful arm in right field was considered the best of his generation, and his work ethic and leadership made him universally respected.
