Favorite Team Mt. Rushmore
-
So I got this idea while listening to the Starting 9 Podcast. Pick the four players from your favorite team that had the biggest impact/most success in their time there.
As a Rangers fan my Mt. Rushmore would have to be:
Nolan Ryan
Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez
Michael Young
Adrian Beltre -
Tigers
Al Kaline
Ty Cobb
Hank Greenberg
And take your choice of Trammell, Charlie Gehringer, Jack Morris, Lou Whitaker, and Miggy for the 4th one -
Jays
Roy Halladay
Carlos Delgado
Dave Stieb
Jose BautistaSorry Robbie, you were carved out

Tug McGrawNo Chase Utley? He's actually 2nd all-time in WAR from the positional player side.

Tug McGrawI was just typing one up for the Phillies and looking at what my list would be and what yours is I'd assume I'm younger than you because I have never seen any of those guys play but I still had Schmidt and Carlton on mine but my I had Rollins (my favorite player of all time) and the last spot was my tough one. The question does say success so it makes my think of Hamels because he was a WS MVP but Howard and Utley are tough to leave off for me. It's a fun question for sure.
