Busting the Banter: Our Take on the Mount Rushmore of...
If you've ever joined the chatter about sports legends, you know where this is headed. Athletes, musicians, actors—even Presidents (though that one's a given, feels no need to have your input). But now it's The Post's turn - we're introducing the Mount Postmores.
Our crack squad of writers and editors have conjured up a lineup of the four unsung heroes for each of our local teams, each sport, and of course, one supernaturally sensational New York quartet, paying homage to the all-stars that left their mark on New York's sports history.
We're drumming up some excitement, ready to spill the beans on our choices, exclusive to Post Sports+.
What About Mount Postmore, Though?
You've probably heard of Mount Rushmore, right? Well, imagine a Mount Rushmore for New York's sports legends – a mountain of athletes, entertainers, and icons who have etched their names into the annals of New York sports culture. The Mount Postmore project, conceptualized by The Washington Post, aims to spotlight these remarkable individuals who have redefined the city's sports scene. While The Washington Post's Mount Postmore selections for each local team, sport, and New York sports history weren't specified in the search results, the idea strives to encapsulate the most revered athletes in NYC's sports history.
Picture this:
- For local teams such as the New York Yankees, New York Knicks, New York Giants, New York Jets, New York Rangers, and New York Mets, the Mount Postmore would showcase its legends, influential figures that have indelibly impacted their respective teams.
- For each sport – be it baseball, basketball, football, or hockey – an incredible foursome would be honored, representing the prowess, achievement, and grit that characterizes New York sports history.
- For overall New York sports history, the Mount Postmore would celebrate players and personalities whose influence transcends a single team or sport, embodying the cultural identity and sporting success that defines New York City and State.
However, since the search results didn't provide The Washington Post's Mount Postmore selections, a hypothetical list based on New York sports folklore would look something like this:
- For the New York Yankees, legends such as Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, forever linked to the Bronx Bombers and baseball greatness, would make the cut.
- For the New York Knicks, icons like Willis Reed and Patrick Ewing, who solidified the team's legendary status, would certainly be recognized.
- For the New York Giants, Lawrence Taylor, a football titan who represented the Big Blue's glory days, would undoubtedly find a place.
- For the New York Rangers, hockey stars like Mark Messier, another emblem of sporting superiority, wouldn't be left out.
