Pro city Mount Rushmore

[SSG T]

So this got me thinking, which city has the best Mount Rushmore of pros from the 4 major sports?

Just off the top of my head, Boston...Bird, Brady, Williams and Orr. Who would beat that?

And it doesn't appear it has to cover every sport, like I did, so it might be 3 baseball players and a football player. But who's better.

Dude, they can't claim Bob feller! Replace him with Rick Vaughn

Cleveland feeling insecure this morning?

Chicago would be in contention:

Walter Payton
Michael Jordan
Stan Mikita
Frank Thomas
Ernie Banks

Walter Payton
Michael Jordan
Stan Mikita
Frank Thomas
Ernie Banks

Maybe replace Mikita with Bobby Hull?

Detroit would be pretty strong, but lack a massive NBA star:
Barry Sanders
Gordie Howe
Ty Cobb
NBA...Isiah Thomas?

With LA, you'd have to let them include Gretzky; while he played there about as long as he did Edmonton, to me he's always an Oiler.

As I thought about this, dc does better than I might have expected:

Walter Johnson
Sammy Baugh
Wes Unseld
Alex Ovechkin

Oh, and sorry Cleveland — no hockey, no admission to the playoffs.
