Like the real Mount Rushmore, ours includes four athletes.
Who made the monument?
After much pondering and deliberation, we decided on the Arizona Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald, the Arizona Coyotes' Shane Doan, the Arizona Diamondbacks' Paul Goldschmidt and the Phoenix Mercury's Diana Taurasi.
Those four made the cut based on their impact on sports in the state and the longevity of their careers in Arizona.
