Agreed. I didn't vote for Ford, but this echoes my thoughts perfectly. |

And he also served in the Army during the Korean War for 2 years during his career (so his win totals would be better one would assume). Jeter didn't fight in any wars. Why do people love Jeter so much? He didn't win a Gold Glove until they went out and traded for the Gold Glove guy and moved him to third. I understand he got 3k in hits but besides that he is/was average at best defensively. Last edited by murrayyyyy : 03-12-2013 at 08:15 AM. |

He is certainly one of the best Yankees ever, but I agree, I don't see him in the mix in this conversation for the top 4. Clearly in the to 7 for sure, and that is a big deal considering the Yankee dynasty as a whole.

I think it comes down to what you consider the purpose of Mount Rushmore. I think of it as a representation of the most iconic members of the team so as the consistent face of the franchise during a period where the Yankees won 5 World Series titles I think he deserves strong consideration even though I wouldn't pick him as one of the four. If you think it's the best 4 players i don't think his qualifications are nearly as strong. |
