Readers' picks for the Brewers' Mount Rushmore for the past 25 years
The Journal Sentinel picked a Brewers Mount Rushmore for the Miller Park/AmFam Field era and asked readers for their own picks. Here's what they said.
Todd Rosiak and Curt Hogg, Brewers beat reporters for the Journal Sentinel, recently picked their Mount Rushmore of Milwaukee Brewers for the Miller Park/American Family Field era, which spans the past 25 years. Their choices were Ryan Braun , Prince Fielder , Ben Sheets and Christian Yelich . We also asked readers to make their own picks, and the majority came to the same conclusion.
Here are the breakdowns. With 595 ballots counted, naturally there was a wide range of combinations for the Mount Rushmore. Seventeen percent (104) picked the same four players as the Journal Sentinel did.
The combination with the next most amount of votes was Braun, Fielder, CC Sabathia and Yelich, which appeared on 56 ballots (9%). Tied on 32 ballots (5%) each were these combinations: Braun, Fielder, Yelich and Yovani Gallardo; Braun, Fielder, Yelich and Freddy Peralta; and Braun, Fielder, Yelich and Brandon Woodruff. (Note: Some of the 595 ballots were not counted for the above results because fewer than four players were chosen).
Overall, Yelich was named on 87% (516) of the 595 ballots, Braun was listed on 83% (492), Fielder was on 77% (457) and Sheets appeared on 36% (217). Next closest was CC Sabathia on 19% (115). As for which current Brewers player or prospect readers thought would be on the Mount Rushmore for the next 25 years, most picked Jackson Chourio, who got 217 of 399 votes, or 54% (not all voters answered this second question).
