Baseball's Mt Rushmore of the last 40 years?

I limit it to the last 40 years (1974 to now) because I can think of more than four from the Yankees alone if you go too far back (Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, DiMaggio, Jeter...), and I'm not even a Yankee fan. Just a baseball one. I didn't/won't name ones that are on the short list of possibly cheating with PES.

For non pitchers.

Mine would be:

Mike Schmidt.

George Brett.

Derrick Jeter.

And maybe Yount, Gwynn, Reggie..?

I can't even finish my own four. What do you think?

Update:

I'd pick Bonds too if he wasn't the poster child of PED abuse, like I mentioned earlier for who I was picking. Jeter is the only other non-pitcher and I picked him too.

    It must include Rickey Henderson or it becomes a monument to second-bestness.
