The Pardon My Take New York Sports Mount Rushmore, With Assistance From Sam Morril

On today's Pardon My Take... SAM MORRIL! The comedian and longtime recurring guest of the show joined Mr. Cat and Mr. Commenter on today's show to talk comedy, the Knicks, bombing on purpose on morning talk shows, and more.

It is no secret that Morril is a massive New York sports fan. There are a ton of legendary athletes to come from the Big Apple over the years, but who are the best four? The crew actually did a similar exercise earlier this summer, when Matt Damon and Casey Affleck were on the show, but for Boston sports...

I feel like the Boston version is much easier to put together than the NY one. You have some clear-cut answers, and then a few debatable ones. 

But for today? There's not as big of a gap. Athletes spanning over multiple decades in different eras makes this task a bit more complicated. But without further ado, here is who the crew settled on...

Joe DiMaggio

Mariano Rivera

Babe Ruth

Derek Jeter

Four Yankees it is. Below is a list of other guys who were thrown out there as potential options…

Also considered: Eli Manning, Lawrence Taylor, Henrik Lundquist, Mark Messier, Mickey Mantle Clyde Frazier, Lou Gehrig, Willis Reed, Patrick Ewing

This is one of those debates where it is impossible for everyone to agree, but what do you think? Did the guys get this one right? Sound off in the comments…
