Pick a city with four pro sports.
Pick the "noteworthy" guy for each sport.
Make the city's pro sports Mt. Rushmore.

For example:

Chicago
Ernie Banks, Walter Payton, Stan Mikita*, Michael Jordan

*dang hard not to put Jonathan Toews there ;)


Philly
Dr. J, Mike Schmidt, Bobby Clarke, Donovan McNabb (?)
 
Re: One City, Four Sports, Pro "Mt. Rushmore"

Kinda hard to get pro hoop in Pittsburgh or Tampa so we can flex where need be; however, must be North American top tier professional sports.
 
Re: One City, Four Sports, Pro "Mt. Rushmore"

Twin cities:

George Mikan (if old teams count)
Neal Broten
Harmon Killebrew
Alan Page
 
Re: One City, Four Sports, Pro "Mt. Rushmore"

Boston:

Bobby Orr
Ted Williams
Bill Russell
Tom Brady
 
Re: One City, Four Sports, Pro "Mt. Rushmore"

Detroit's pretty much covered, so I'll do Denver:

John Elway
Joe Sakic (honorable mention Patrick Roy)
Rockies are tough - go with Todd Helton, honorable mentions to Larry Walker, Andres Galarraga, and Matt Holliday.
Nuggets are tough too - probably Dan Issel or Doug Moe, maybe Alex English. Throw Mutombo on there too for his humanitarian work.

Someone from the Bay Area can do SF, but the discussion around Montana and Walsh has potential (not to slight Y.A. Tittle or Oakland fans).
 
Re: One City, Four Sports, Pro "Mt. Rushmore"

Broten, Mikan, Page, Oliva.


*under consideration: Mariucci and Mayasich for hockey, Carew, Puckett and Killebrew for baseball.

Yeah, I was a huge Tony O fan, but Carew has to be in the discussion. Rare, rare talent.

Walsh also had presence as the coach for Stanford and San Jose State, so that gives him quite the presence; but hard to argue with a QB winning 4 SBs too.

For baseball, Mays or Bonds? Bonds has his skeletons, but a lot of Mays came in NY. In the end, even with the controversy, hard to overlook Bonds.

For the Sharks: Thornton? I came here in 2004 so I might be overlooking earlier Sharks, but despite the playoff issues the Sharks had much more success since he's become the face of the team.

Warriors: Gotta be Curry. Nothing against Rick Barry, but Curry's changed the game and won 3 of 4.

Honorable mention to Wondo on the Quakes.

It's hard to separate Walsh and Montana. Walsh changed the game, but he wouldn't have been able to without Joe.
