Try to pick one guy from each sport. Obviously, if you live in a city that doesn't have all 4 sports, substitutions are allowed. My Boston Mount Rushmore would be as follows:
Bill Russell (Celtics)- Probably the most defensively dominant basketball player, EVER! 11 championships in 13 years is a record unmatched in ANY sport. As great as Jordan was, he didn't come close to that record. I'm a HUGE Larry Bird fan and watched his whole career, but I just think Russell's records are unmatched and earn him the spot.
Ted Williams (Red Sox) - In 19 years, the guy had a career 344 average, which is astonishing! He is also the last guy to hit over 400 in a season(406 in 1953). He missed 5 prime years of his career to serve in WWII, and still ranks near the top in many MLB categories.
Bobby Orr (Bruins) - Perhaps the most dominant hockey player, EVER (and yes, I've heard of Wayne Gretsky). Only defenseman, EVER, to win the NHL scoring title, and Orr did it twice! Scored over 100 points in 6 straight seasons. Orr was simply in a class by himself.
Tom Brady (Patriots) - Will go down as one of the top three QB's of all time. Has won three Super Bowls, with VERY average talent around him. Has proven this season that given the weapons, he is just as capable as his contemporary, Peyton Manning, of putting up eye-popping statistics!

Apparently I live under a rather large rock.

Ripken is so overrated. Ground ball to 2nd base and into a double play. I saw him play day to day. Good but not great. Nice guy though.
