Baseball Mount Rushmore - Who you got!

MansGame · Jan 15, 2014

Here we go, who is on your Baseball Mount Rushmore if you had to carve it up in a mountain today!? Are any linked to PEDs? Are any current players in the league? Are all from the Yankee? Will anyone leave Babe Ruth off?

Thought this would be fun. We've done this a few times via "our team" but couldn't find one for all-time baseball and it's tough just picking 4! Picture at the bottom in case you have NO idea what Mount Rushmore is

As a fun reference, here is ESPN's Top 25 Players (in order) out of their Hall of 100:

1. Babe Ruth
2. Willie Mays
3. Barry Bonds
4. Ted Williams
5. Hank Aaron
6. Ty Cobb
7. Roger Clemens
8. Stan Musial
9. Mickey Mantle
10. Honus Wagner
11. Lou Gehrig
12. Walter Johnson
13. Greg Maddux
14. Rickey Henderson
15. Roger Hornsby
16. Albert Pujols
17. Mike Schmidt
18. Cy Young
19. Alex Rodriguez
20. Joe Morgan
21. Joe DiMaggio
22. Frank Robinson
23. Randy Johnson
24. Tom Seaver
25. Tris Speaker

As for myself, it'd be:

Babe Ruth
Cy Young
Ted Williams
Ty Cobb

IMO - Can't put anyone linked to PEDs up there. Just couldn't do it. I also couldn't put any current players but I'm sure Mo, Jeter and Pujols will show up on some people's Mountains

Ruth, Gherig, DiMaggio and Mantle

I could live with the top 4, personally: Ruth, Mays, Bonds, Williams
However, after thinking a little more, we'd need a little more variety.
Mays and Bonds are virtual clones, and although Bonds would be my choice personally, Mays would be better globally.
That brings Aaron into the mix, which I like!
So now I have Ruth, Mays, Williams, Aaron
I tried to think of a pitcher to exchange in, but no pitcher would make my Rushmore over these four guys.

Ruth, Williams, Walter Johnson, Willie Mays.

Although I want Rickey on it, I would go with Ruth, Mays, Aaron and Williams.

DiMaggio, DiMaggio, DiMaggio and DiMaggio.

Ozzie Smith

My Mount Rushmore on a clean granite mountain would be:

Rickey Henderson
Babe Ruth
Sandy Koufax
Mickey Mantle
Bob Gibson
Ken Griffey Jr.
Cal Ripken Jr.
Ted Williams
Ty Cobb

Carve them up on the mountain side-by-side like it was a close up of their faces during a pre-game All Star Game introduction along the baseline.

Yea, I got stuck on all power hitters and then had to change it up a bit and you have to have a pitcher in there I think, so I though Cy Young because the award is named after him, etc. Plus just stupid crazy numbers lol

LOL!

Would it be the same face or maybe a few different faces of him from his early years through his later days?

Hendersonfan · Jan 15, 2014

How many can we have? Just 4?

Yea, Mount Rushmore has 4 faces and I think 4 is the limit but what the hell, if you want to be like [MENTION=2726]rsmath[/MENTION] and do a smaller face Mount Rushmore, go for it! Just like sticking to 4 or less because it's tough and makes you be decisive but I don't care, it's for fun.

To best represent "baseball," I'd have an infielder, outfielder, pitcher and manager.

Infield: Honus Wagner
Outfield: Babe Ruth
Pitcher: Cy Young
Manager: Connie Mack

Hahaha. Same face 4 times.

Aaron, Ruth, Mays and Mantle for me.

But I'd have NO problem if someone wanted to switch Jackie Robinson or Roberto Clemente in for any of those besides Ruth...

MansGame · Jan 15, 2014

Except for [MENTION=4189]elmalo[/MENTION], doesn't look like anyone has left Ruth off their Mount Rushmore... I mean how could you!

Rick Vaughn, Roger Dorn, Pedro Crerano, Jake Taylor.
