ST. SIMONS, Ga. — Sadly, we’re wrapping up, so let’s do this.

To our business:

› Rushmore of best current MLB hitters (and this has to be more than just power, even in this swing — hard-and-miss-often version of baseball) — Freddie Freeman, Aaron Judge, Mike Trout and Jose Altuve. Side note: Did you know there are all of two active MLBers with enough qualified ABs who have a career average of .300 or better? It’s Altuve at .303 and Luis Arraez at .316. That’s the list. There were 21 players who hit. 300 or better for their career in the 1980s.

› Rushmore of HBO-made comedies series — “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Entourage,” “VEEP,” “The Larry Sanders Show.” No, Spy, your beloved “Sex in the City” did not make the cut.

› Rushmore of current ESPN personalities — for me, it’s McAfee, SVP, Louis Riddick and Michael Collins. In terms of most famous currently, I’d go Stephen A, Greenie, Dickie V and SVP.
