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).
