Ten people who represented the Expos organization have subsequently gone on to gain election to the [[National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum]]. Gary Carter was inducted in 2003 and was the first player whose Hall of Fame plaque depicted him with an Expos cap. The Hall's choice for his plaque logo followed initial statements by Carter that he preferred to be enshrined as a New York Met, with whom he won the [[1986 World Series]]. He accepted the Hall's decision with grace, stating: "The fact I played 11 years in Montreal and the fact that the majority of my statistics and accomplishments were achieved there, it would be wrong, probably, to do it any other way."<ref>{{citation |title=Gary Carter heads to Hall of Fame as Expo; Star catcher 'honoured, proud' |work=Hamilton Spectator |date=2003-01-17 |page=E1}}</ref>

Andre Dawson became the second depicted as an Expos player when he was elected in 2010. Although he had played the majority of his 21-year career with Montreal, Dawson also preferred his plaque to display a different logo: when the decision was made, he publicly expressed his disappointment, saying it was "a little gut-wrenching" to find out he would not go in as a Chicago Cub.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1A1-D9DG7G801.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160410174543/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1A1-D9DG7G801.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2016-04-10 |title=Dawson to enter Hall of Fame as Expo, prefers Cubs |agency=Associated Press |date=2010-01-27 |access-date=2015-06-11}}</ref> Dawson's reluctance to be enshrined as an Expos player stemmed, in part, from the breakdown of his relationship with the team during MLB's [[Major League Baseball collusion|collusion scandal]] of 1986–87, when he claims the team not only "threw him out" of Montreal, but tried to prevent other teams from signing him as a [[free agent]].<ref>{{citation |last=Rozner |first=Barry |url=https://www.questia.com/read/1G1-217640606 |title=Dawson: Hall of Fame's Cap Choice a 'Punch in Gut' |work=Daily Herald |location=Arlington Heights, Illinois |date=2010-01-28 |access-date=}}{{dead link|date=July 2021}}</ref>

The third player with an Expos logo on his Hall of Fame plaque is [[Tim Raines]], who was inducted in 2017, his final year of eligibility.<ref name="raines HoF">{{cite news|last=Kepner|first=Tyler|title=Hall of Fame Welcomes Tim Raines, Jeff Bagwell and Ivan Rodriguez|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/18/sports/mlb-hall-of-fame-tim-raines-jeff-bagwell-ivan-rodriguez.html|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=January 18, 2017|access-date=January 19, 2017|archive-date=January 20, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170120065328/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/18/sports/mlb-hall-of-fame-tim-raines-jeff-bagwell-ivan-rodriguez.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

On January 24, 2018, the [[National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum]] announced [[Vladimir Guerrero]] as an inductee into the Hall of Fame. Guerrero played eight of his 16 seasons with the Expos, being named to the MLB All-Star Game three times and winning the [[Silver Slugger Award]] three times while with the team. Nearly half of his career 2,590 hits were with Montreal (1,215), while having 234 of his 449 home runs and 702 of his 1,496 RBIs with the Expos in 1,004 games. Guerrero announced his Hall of Fame plaque will display him wearing an Angels cap.<ref name="MLB-Guerrero-cap">{{cite news|last=Castrovince|first=Anthony|title=Vlad's Hall plaque will be first with Angels cap|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/vladimir-guerrero-will-enter-hall-as-an-angel/c-265323122|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|website=[[MLB.com]]|date=January 25, 2018|access-date=February 16, 2019|archive-date=January 26, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180126054037/https://www.mlb.com/news/vladimir-guerrero-will-enter-hall-as-an-angel/c-265323122|url-status=live}}</ref>

For the five other inductees, their time in Montreal played lesser roles in their careers. Manager Dick Williams was a member of the Expos between 1977 and 1981 as part of a 21-year managerial career in which he took three different teams to the World Series.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Dubow |first=Josh |url=https://www.pjstar.com/story/sports/2011/07/07/hall-fame-manager-dick-williams/42428664007/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241007235034/https://www.pjstar.com/story/sports/2011/07/07/hall-fame-manager-dick-williams/42428664007/ |work=Journal Star |url-status=live |archive-date=2024-10-07 |title=Hall of Fame manager Dick Williams dies at 82 |agency=Associated Press |date=2011-07-07 |access-date=2015-06-12}}</ref> [[Tony Pérez]] played three years with the Expos but was primarily known for being a member of Cincinnati's "Big Red Machine" teams of the 1970s.<ref>{{citation |last=Crasnick |first=Jerry |title=Perez, Fisk make shrine; Expos catching great Carter finishes fourth in Hall voting |work=Montreal Gazette |date=2000-01-12 |page=B4}}</ref> Pitchers [[Pedro Martínez]] (1994–97) and [[Randy Johnson]] (1988–89), who both played in Montreal early in their careers but spent the majority of their playing days elsewhere, were both elected to the Hall in 2015.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/baseball/mlb/ex-expos-pedro-martinez-randy-johnson-elected-to-hall-of-fame-1.2891451 |title=Ex-Expos Pedro Martínez, Randy Johnson elected to Hall of Fame |publisher=Canadian Broadcasting Corporation |date=2015-01-06 |access-date=2015-06-12 |archive-date=January 14, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150114074141/http://www.cbc.ca/sports/baseball/mlb/ex-expos-pedro-martinez-randy-johnson-elected-to-hall-of-fame-1.2891451 |url-status=live }}</ref> [[Frank Robinson]] managed the team from 2002 to 2006 (spanning the franchise's move to Washington), but was elected based on his accomplishments as a player, including being the first player to win Most Valuable Player honours in both the AL and NL, a [[Major League Baseball Triple Crown|triple crown]] in 1966, and a rookie-record of 38 home runs while winning the NL Rookie of the Year award.<ref name="HOF-Frank-Robinson">{{cite web|title=Frank Robinson|url=http://baseballhall.org/hof/robinson-frank|publisher=[[National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum]]|year=2015|access-date=July 28, 2015|archive-date=July 12, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110712015644/http://baseballhall.org/hof/robinson-frank|url-status=live}}</ref>

When the Washington Nationals unveiled their "Ring of Honor" at [[Nationals Park]] in 2010, the franchise recognized its roots in Montreal. The ring was created to honour Hall-of-Fame players associated with Washington, D.C., baseball or the Montreal-Washington franchise, later expanded to include anyone who has made a significant contribution to the game of baseball in Washington, D.C. Two Expos players – Gary Carter and Andre Dawson – were named among the inaugural members.<ref>{{cite press release|title=Washington Nationals pay tribute to Hall of Famers with Ring of Honor|url=http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/content/printer_friendly/was/y2010/m08/d10/c13270762.jsp|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|website=Nationals.com|date=August 10, 2010|access-date=February 16, 2019|archive-date=March 20, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160320150411/http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/content/printer_friendly/was/y2010/m08/d10/c13270762.jsp|url-status=dead}}</ref> Frank Robinson was added to the Ring of Honor in 2015,<ref>{{cite news|last=Janes|first=Chelsea|title=Frank Robinson inducted into Nationals Ring of Honor|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/nationals-journal/wp/2015/05/09/frank-robinson-inducted-into-nationals-ring-of-honor/|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|date=May 9, 2015|access-date=July 25, 2015|archive-date=July 29, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150729114955/http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/nationals-journal/wp/2015/05/09/frank-robinson-inducted-into-nationals-ring-of-honor/|url-status=live}}</ref> as was Tim Raines in 2017.<ref name="steinberg20170830">{{cite news|last=Steinberg|first=Dan|title=Perspective - Bad Natitude?
