Closing Thoughts

To parse a 133-year history into a four player monument is a difficult, if not impossible task. The Dodgers have a rich history from which to draw icons, iconoclasts, legends and luminaries.

With so many potential candidates for Mount Rushmore, Hall of Fame players such as Mike Piazza and Don Newcombe barely qualify as afterthoughts.

There is no question that the Dodgers lineage is as robust as any in all of sports – and the Mount Rushmore of Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax, Vin Scully and Tommy Lasorda is the most impactful on not only the organization, but on the city and the entire sports landscape as well.
