Babe Ruth
Oscar Charleston
Ty Cobb
Walter Johnson

The Ruth question in itself is laughable.....

I'd guess you'd have to have a hitters one and a pitchers one. Just my opinion.

*GASP*

Babe's rolling in his grave that this is even a discussion.

Absolutely no question IMO.

Starts and ends with Ruth
two hitters two pitchers
ruth
williams
walter Johnson
cy young

If some feel as tho Ruth should not be an automatic lock on an MLB Rushmore, leads me to believe 1 of 2 things....1. That person is still in pull-up diapers so when asked about ruth, the response would be "who's that?" Or 2. Not enough is known about the Bambino and think there are others far greater. IMO

Agree, definitely can see circumstances where he's not on people's lists. It's kind of the like greatest movie lists and people saying why the f should I care about Citizen Kane?

Ted Williams? Why not Nolan Ryan, Mickey Mantle, or even Derek Jeter. Today more people would recognize the name Derek Jeter than Ted Williams. and I'd put Jackie Robinson before Cy Young.

Derek Jeter is just laughable!! At least in my opinion

Ghumbs · Jul 20, 2014

Willie Mays has to be on there, right?

Babe is the best player of all time

I'm just saying Ted Williams doesn't have historical importance or name recognition. I think someone like Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle, or Nolan Ryan would have more historical importance and name recognition. Particularly Hank Aaron.

I think Jackie is definitely on there.

Just as laughable as Williams IMO. Neither should be there if you are picking 4 players.

Agree with this. No Ted. Its Ruth, Cy Young, Jackie Robinson, and Hank Aaron IMO.

I think it's definitely Ruth, Cy Young and Jackie Robinson... the 4th spots is probably where a lot of people differ IMO.
