DiMaggio/Russell/Brady/Peggy Fleming
Greg Dulli/Joe Nuxhall/Ray Combs/Robert McCloskey (As a child of the 70's I was always told my hometown was not a suburb of Cincy but a separate city - probably because they didn't bother to get a direct connection to an interstate until the 1990s).
McCloskey is a hero for sure... love me some Homer Price
Played in Indianapolis...Wayne Gretzky, Peyton Manning, Reggie Miller and Hank Aaron.
From Indy...Oscar Robertson, Oscar Charleston, Major Taylor and John Wooden?
When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.

How can there be a Mount Rushmore of Cincinnati without Bob Shreve and the Kwik Brothers on it? Not possible.
Dick Von Hoene/Ruth Lyons/Uncle Al / Bob Shreve
Oklahoma is interesting...
1. Thorpe
2. Mantle
Then it gets tough to choose two from Sanders, Bench, Hubbell and Nancy Lopez (won 3 majors, 2nd seven times, 4 POY all while taking multiple years off during the peak of her career to have children).
Personally, I would go with Lopez and Sanders because both of them dominated their peers in their sports more than Bench and Hubbell did (and I became a Catcher and a REDS' fan because of Bench and I still say Lopez and Sanders were more dominant athletes, comparing more to Mantle than to Bench).

Detroit in this vein would be
Bill Kennedy/Soupy Sales/Bob McNea (Oopsy)/Bill Bonds

I would start any Alabama Mt. Rushmore with Jesse Owens and then go from there.
"One problem with people who have no vices is that they're pretty sure to have some annoying virtues."
Jesse Owens/ Charles Barkley/ Bo Jackson/ Joe Namath (or Frank Thomas)

Pittsburgh might be a sneaky good one.
Super Mario/ Clemente/ Josh Gibson/ Mean Joe (Jack Lambert?)
Cool Ghoul/Skipper Ryle/Larry Smith/Uncle Al

Fixed that for ya.
Although I'm thinking maybe mom and dad were letting me watch stuff they shouldn't have.
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.

A different take on Cincinnati-born (metro): Roger Staubach, Miller Huggins, Steve Cauthen, Rose Lavelle.
