Let’s tend to business.
Rushmore of movie golfers. Caddyshack version, Ty Webb, Danny Noonan, Bishop Bickering (he was on his way to setting the course record, “Rat Farts”) and, of course, Judge Elihu Smails. Non-Caddyshack version is Roy McAvoy, Happy Gilmore, Shooter McGavin and The Legend of Bagger Vance (although Matt Damon’s swing was an awkward as folding up a rusty lawn chair).
Rushmore of real celebrities connected to video games — John Madden, Mike Tyson, Bo Jackson and Bill Walsh, who had his name on the first version of the college football game for Sega back in the day.
Rushmore of movies with a hard connection to newspapers — “All the President’s Men,” “Spotlight,” “Absence of Malice,” “Citizen Kane.”
Rushmore of unbreakable records in American professional team sports — Wilt averaging 48.5 minutes per game in 1961, Cy Young’s (fill in the blank here I guess but) 511 wins (and his 300-plus losses), Rickey Henderson’s 1,406 stolen bases (that’s 20 straight years of 70 steals and still needing a few more bags, friends) and Boston winning eight straight NBA titles.
