Mount Rushmore, located in the Black Hills of Keystone, South
Dakota, is one of the most iconic landmarks in the United States.
The face of the mountain features 60-foot heads of Presidents
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and
Abraham Lincoln. It depicts four of the greatest men our country
has ever known. In recent years, it has become fashionable for
sports fans to select the Mount Rushmore of their franchise's
history. For some franchise's, which have been around for 100+
years, it can be a daunting task. Even for younger franchises, such
as the New York Mets, picking a Mount Rushmore can be a challenge.
Mostly because fans always seem to favor players that they have
seen play--leading older and younger fans to differ on who belongs
carved on that fictional mountain in Queens. In 2015, Major League
Baseball announced its decision for each team's Mount Rushmore. For
the Mets, voters chose Keith Hernandez, Mike Piazza, Tom Seaver,
and David Wright. No one would argue that Tom Seaver is on the
franchise's Mount Rushmore. He was, after all, "The Franchise."
Some might even argue that the Mets' Mount Rushmore is Tom Seaver
four times! However, that not-withstanding, when it comes to
rounding out the other three players, did MLB get it right

favorites who earned their prominence in the Polo Grounds, Shea
Stadium, and Citi Field.
