Great Mt Rushmore! Congrats on 1,500! I would go with Bench, Pujols, Jeter and Schmidt. Loved watching Brett, Boggs and Ichiro along with Griffey play. Tough choice.
Really enjoyed the video! I’d go with Schmidt, Henderson, Pujols, and Maddux. Maddux not only won 355 games but also won 4 CY Young Awards & 18 Gold Gloves! Incredible!
Congrats on 1,500 subscribers, Chris! This is a great idea, and I like the thought of having separate Rushmores for hitters and pitchers. So, I racked my brain while watching this, and my "first draft" non-pitcher, non-busted-for-steroid, non-banned-for-gambling Rushmore would be Bench, Griffey, Ichiro and Pujols, with Jeter, Henderson, Schmidt and Ripken closest to them looking up. I like factoring in defense and intangibles as much as I can, so Pujols was a bit of a close call.
Congrats on 1,500 Chris truly a milestone in this community!! I think if you’re eliminating Barry Bonds for steroids I doubt you’ll get any pushback bc this is probably the correct 4. There has been a lot of great players lost the last 5 years Al Kaline included. Fun tribute and I look forward to your pitcher Rushmore in the future my friend! 👊🏼
Congratulations on getting to 1500 subs! You'll be over 2000 by Christmas! I agree with you on Bench, Henderson and Schmidt for three of the slots for the Mt. Rushmore of position players. I would add Griffy over Pujols. They are very close as hitters statistically, but no one would ever confuse them in the field. Griffey was an elite defensive outfielder and that gives him the edge, in my opinion. I left out Koufax since you said you were going to do Pitchers separately. FYI, my top four pitchers are Carlton, Koufax, Ryan and Seaver. These guys were dominating and domineering pitchers everywhere they went and at whatever stage they were on, Regular Season, Playoffs and World Series. I took Carlton over Johnson and I took Ryan and Seaver over Greg Maddux. Like you I don't expect to change anyone's mind who thinks otherwise, and don't want to. It's just my opinion. In my trade, we have a saying, "Free opinions are worth exactly what you pay for them!" Thanks for sharing, my friend!
Hard to argue! I was gonna say Albert, until you said it! If non HOF were included, have to put Bonds in. But the roids definitely makes the argument hard. Congrats on 1500 buddy!
Congrats on 1500 Chris! This is a great top 4 that would be hard to argue with. The fan in me would like to see Ken Griffey Jr. on it, but I think you got it right. I'm happy to see you, including Pujols!
Congrats on 1,500+ subscribers Chris, well deserved! Hard to argue with your logic on your choices. For me, I would go with Koufax, Schmidt, Henderson, and Griffey. Fun topic, looking forward to seeing others choices.
Thanks for the video! The players you talked about we’re all great in their time. I think I would have given at the very least honorable mention to George Brett, nolan Ryan, and Reggie, Jackson. I think you may have mentioned Brett, so sorry if I am not giving you credit for that. But if I had to pick the best I have seen play since I started watching baseball, it would have to be Roger Clemons and Barry Bonds. Ken Griffey Junior was very good, but not as good as bonds. it is very interesting to think about it though.
Tough to argue with anyone’s picks, but I like Schmidt, Bench, Griffey Jr. and Pujols. The Royals are beating up my Reds this weekend, hope you are enjoying the games!
Mt Rushmore of current alive players - Bonds, best 5 tool player ever. The rest was a bit harder for me to narrow down but i choose The Rocket, The Kid, and Charlie Hustle.
If you don’t consider Steroid players, the 4 greatest living players (not counting Koufax) Pujols, Schmidt, Maddux, Rivera It still hurts that Bonds and Clemens juiced later in their career because they are the Mays and Koufax of our generation. They were Hall of Famers before juicing.
Great video Chris and very thought provoking! My 4- Bench, Rose, Griffey, and Schmidt. Have fun in Cincy! I wish I was going! Go Reds!
Congrats on 1500 subs Chris! Enjoy your channel immensel. JT
Congrats on 1,500 Fun video!

Love your picks. Congrats on 1.5k subs.
My Mt Rushmore of living elites are Koufax, Schmidt, Bench, & R.Henderson.
Really enjoyed the video! I’d go with Schmidt, Henderson, Pujols, and Maddux. Maddux not only won 355 games but also won 4 CY Young Awards & 18 Gold Gloves! Incredible!
I like watching your videos! You are very good!
Ooooh this was fun! Congrats on the 1500 Subscribers! I like this idea for a video topic! I love lists of rankings! Cool idea!

Greg Maddux was better than Nolan Ryan.
Hi Chris, congrats on 1500 subs, well deserved. Talk soon my friend.
Congrats on the 1500 subs. Your list works for me.
Congrats on 1500! I thought you had a great list. Swap Henderson and Griffey Jr. and it’s dang near perfect.
Enjoyed it Chris. Don't agree on Pujols. But it's your show and your list. Lol. Thanks for sharing
I'll do a Rushmore as well
Congrats at 1500 subs my friend! Well deserved!
nice cris, i've done this list as well. My picks were Schmidt, Bench, Bonds and Rose. I cant keep the all time hit king off this list.
Congrats on 1500!

Awesome choices, congrats on 1,500 subscribers. Well deserved!
Congrats on 1500! Just 1400 away!

Congrats on 1.5K Chris 👍🏻
Rickey Henderson
Albert Pujols
Ken Griffey Jr.
Mike Schmidt
Great list. I would consider Johnny Bench, but hard to argue those 4 iconic names.
I would love to pick a fight with you, but I agree with your picks.
Tough to argue with anyone’s picks, but I like Schmidt, Bench, Griffey Jr. and Pujols. The Royals are beating up my Reds this weekend, hope you are enjoying the games!
Griffey Jr, Ichiro Suzuki, Nolan Ryan... and I have to give one homer pick... Rod Carew
For what it’s worth, I think you’re right on the money Chris! Congrats on 1.5K sir!
You kind of blew my argument for Carew at first base out of the water with Pujols.
Mt Rushmore of current alive players - Bonds, best 5 tool player ever. The rest was a bit harder for me to narrow down but i choose The Rocket, The Kid, and Charlie Hustle.
For pitchers, I'd consider Nolan Ryan.
Graig M would love to see Roger C on these lists!
Gave a video like. Fun to think about. Even more fun to make a video about. I will make one and put one up today. Enjoy the video as always, Chris.
Griffey, Pujols, Ichiro, Trout, Henderson,
Surprising to not see Pete Rose listed by anyone
rickey henderson?? Most caught stealing record.
Pujols, Cabrera, Murray, A-rod..only 4 living 500hr 3000hit guys alive
If you don’t consider Steroid players, the 4 greatest living players (not counting Koufax)
Pujols, Schmidt, Maddux, Rivera
It still hurts that Bonds and Clemens juiced later in their career because they are the Mays and Koufax of our generation. They were Hall of Famers before juicing.
Good list. But it's difficult for me to put Rivera ahead of Rickey Henderson or Johnny Bench.
Ichiro
