A few innings before Major League Baseball honored Henry Aaron at the 2025 All-Star Game I was randomly thinking about who would be on my Mt. Rushmore of baseball players. Jackie Robinson, of course. Babe Ruth. Duh. Henry Aaron. Obviously. And then I had a dilemma. I felt short on pitchers and I love Roberto Clemente more than I can put into words.
Maybe I should have two Mt. Rushmores of baseball. One for hitters and one for pitchers.
I sort of tabled that dilemma in my head as I watched the Midsummer Classic unfold. And what a Midsummer Classic it was.
