Default Who stays iconic into the distant future?

Griffey seems certain. Pujols too. Ohtani unless he crashes and burns very quickly.

What about Jeter? Ichiro? Or does one ultimately need the long ball?

Barring a miraculous reversal, does Trout retain any of his former magic?

Is Ripken still iconic?

Does the hobby ultimately forgive Bonds and ARod and Clemens and focus on their numbers?

Does Verlander become bigger as time passes?

Does Randy Johnson ever get appreciated as one of the very few best pitchers ever?

Can Soto get there given how little people like him, even if he puts up incredible numbers by the metrics?
