I tend to think that to reach "icon" status, you need to be great, charismatic,(being fan friendly helps) BUT,THE BIGGEST THING, is to stay on one team for a looong time.

If Chipper Jones had left in free agency to the Blue Jays he would have still been a great player but he wouldn't have been an icon like he was due to staying in ATL his whole career.

edit: and to add, the media helps, Jeter was treated like he was a top ten all time player, if he had played for the Twins we'd remember him in a similar vein as Barry Larkin. Great, icon of his team, but not this elite player of all time like the media treated him.
