A buster Olney tweet caught my attention. He said he thought Mo would make the Yankees Mt Rushmore while Jayson Stark disagrees. What would you say?

Keep it old with Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle? Jeter...Mo? Could even argue adding Steinbrenner?

Jeter.


Jeter definitely doesn't belong on the NYY Mt. Rushmore. It's Ruth, Gehrig, Dimaggio, and Mantle, followed by Yogi Berra. I don't any Yankee fan who would argue otherwise.

Mo would absolutely make it. He's the best closer in MLB history

Jeter is so overrated.

He's still an all time Yankee great, though.

Mt. Rushmore means 4. Mo ain't making it.

Ruth
Mantle
DiMaggio
Reggie

And that shamefully leaves off Gehrig and Yogi. Wow. Loaded history. Jeter is certainly the symbol of this current Yankee dynasty. Mo is the best pitcher they've ever had, which is odd for a team that's won so much*

*I know that Clemens is better, but I'm only counting as a Yankee.
