listening to xm and the constant Jeter chatter and I heard someone mention that Jeter would be one of the faces on the Yankees Mount Rushmore and it got me wondering...who would you pick for our guys?

Rose, Bench, Larkin, me.
Rose, Bench, Larkin, Roush. So hard to pick just four, but the first three are probably close to consensus. Roush was one of the greatest players of his era and played on Cincinnati's first World Series winner.
same four I had....well it was between you and Robinson I guessOriginally Posted by JaxRed
Rose, Bench, Larkin, me.
it might be fun to do this with every team
Rose, Bench, Sparky, George Wright

Jeter on the Yankees?
Ruth, Gehrig and Mantle are automatic.
Last one not so much.
Whitey Ford, Yogi Berra?
what about the Phils...with a perfect game and no-hitter in the playoffs would Halladay make it?
Dimaggio would be the easy fourth imo.
Players only:
Rose, Bench, Morgan, Perez (Larkin takes Tony's spot if he makes the HOF)
I can be persuaded to leave Rose off due to his past transgressions. In that case:
Bench, Morgan, Perez, Larkin
Greatest Reds in any capacity:
Rose, Bench, Anderson, Nuxhall
BTW, I can't see how Jeter could ever make the Yankees' version. Those four spots are locked up:
Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
First, Jeter might make a Yankee's "Sargent Pepper's Album Cover", but he's not even close to deserving to be on their Mt Rushmore. Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, DiMaggio and shut e door. Berra, Reggie, Stengel, Huggins, Lefty Gomez, Whitey Ford, Rizzuto, Steinbrenner, all ahead of Jeter IMO.
Second, for the Reds, I would go... Rose, Bench, Larkin and Eric Davis. Perez, sparky and Jose Rijo are next.

Rose, Bench, Larkin, Robinson, Morgan
Rose, Bench, Wily Mo and Wily Taveras.

Mt. de la Hoz:
Tom Lawless, Chad Mottola, Damon Berryhill, German Barranca
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
Rose, Bench, Morgan and F Robby. I love Larkin but I can't see him making the cut with those 4 names.
