Babe Ruth
Jackie Robinson
Jesse Owens
Jimmy Clark or Ayrton Senna
strong consideration for either Gretzky or Bobby Orr

I think athletes that changed the direction of their respective sport or society in general should be recognized not just those with statistical accomplishments.Rushmore has four presidents, a sports Rushmore would definitely need more being there are so may sports.

How could I have forgotten Senna ?! He was a tremendous driver and outspoken about his sports problems where others simply kept quiet and cashed their checks. Racing as a whole is far safer because of him.

Babe Ruth
Jackie Robinson
Muhammad Ali

The fourth one I'd leave open for the athlete who basically becomes the Jackie Robinson for the LGBT community.

There would be no such thing as a Jackie Robinson for the LGBT community. LGBT is not barred from playing professional sports thus having to play in their own league until they are given the chance.

Every sport has already had a LGBT person play.

If you are worried about inequality in sports look at women. I would love to see if Chelsea Baker ever gets a chance with a pro baseball team.

What I mean is someone who would have the same impact as Jackie did for African-Americans. Yeah there are LGBT athletes, and none are being barred, but as someone who represents the community on the level that Jackie did, I don't think that person has really been in the public eye like that. Sure, Chelsea Baker would be great, or someone similar. And btw, yes LGBT athletes are not barred from sports, but the general culture of sports sure hasn't done much to encourage LGBT athletes

The on court heroics of basketball wouldn't be possible if traveling wasn't allowed.It's all about the "show", the NASCAR of stick & ball sports. Jordan was a tremendous athlete though. He was the NBA in his era, he received the benefit of doubt from the officials. I have a tough time putting him on the list.

Alexander Joy Cartwright…with apologies to Abner

James Naismith

Walter Camp

James Creighton

These 4 gentlemen created or were credited with being the first to create the respective 4 sports. Without them it is fair to say that baseball football, basketball, and hockey may not have had the platforms for all the sports names to have shown their collective talents.
