How young ARE you?
I'm 35....and most of those other guys had been listed before and I HAD to leave room for Darrell Porter...I mean, who else is gonna list that guy?!?!?

Any franchise that has the most championships in the sport (2nd only to the Yanks) is going to have a long list. I was trying to cover MY era.

A team with that much history...tough to narrow down. I'd remove Jones, and add Red Auerbach.
I just went with players and the reason why no wright was Concepcion is one of my all time favorite players
I was joking about Harry Wright, but he was the best player of his era.

Of course his era was way back when the Reds were the only professional team....

if they make the name-plate for your Mt Rushmore, can we get you to spell it? Brett doesn't seem to know how!

Red Schoendeist Wasn't he a Cardnial??

He was for most of his career, yes.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/s/schoere01.shtml

He played parts of four seasons with the Milwaukee Braves, so, as much as I liked him, I guess I could change that choice to someone who spent the better part of his career with the Braves.
That person would be John Smoltz.

Nile Kinnick, yes, DEFINATELY.
But, as for those other names you listed, they're all great, one and all. We all agree this hasn't been overly easy, right? :D

P.S.-the name of the High School at the Yokosuka, Japan Naval Base is "NILE KINNICK HIGH SCHOOL."
(You're familiar with his service in W.W. II, which claimed his life, right)?

Easy... he wasn't as good an athlete as Eric Crouch in '01, and Carson Palmer was better QB in '02.
Dorsey is regarded as just a system quarterback, surrounded by mega- talent.

...also think NCAA wasn't gonna be made to look foolish again after Gino Torretta won over HOF'er Marshall Faulk :roll:

Maybe Marcus Allen or Jim Plunket or Fred Blintnikoff (sp?) although I can imagine Davidson in a scupture...classic. Big Ben lives in Lightning Bolt's neighborhood. Ran into him a cpl times at a nearby shopping plaza
