I think of an iconic player as someone that is synonymous with a team or, more importantly, a period of time. Even non-baseball fans know icons. Hard to argue with Mantle, Ruth, or Jackie R. I would also add Aaron for breaking Ruth's "unbreakable" record. #715 provided a moment that will live on. Vin Scully said it was the most important home run call of his storied career.
