As most are aware, Mount Rushmore National Memorial is an enormous sculpture etched in solid rock in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The monument is approximately 60 feet high and depicts the faces of four prominent presidents (Washington, Jefferson, [Theodore] Roosevelt, and Lincoln).
If we could carve a similar memorial in honor of the four best MLB players of all time, whose faces would be “etched in stone”? Likewise, if we could chisel an analogous memorial in honor of the four best players who had donned the pinstripes, who might they be?
