Most iconic figure of each Major League Baseball franchise? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

If you disagree with me, feel free to suggest otherwise.

*Angels - Gene Autry, who owned the franchise for their first 36 years. I also thought about Nolan Ryan and Rod Carew.

*Astros - Craig Biggio or Jeff Bagwell

*Athletics - If you want to go w/ just their time period in Oakland, I would suggest, Rickey Henderson. I also thought about Reggie Jackson, even though he would go into the Hall of Fame as a Yankee instead of an Athletic. If you want to go further back to their time in Philadelphia, then Connie Mack and/or Jimmie Foxx.

*Blue Jays - Joe Carter or Roberto Alomar

*Braves - Henry Aaron or Warren Spahn

*Brewers - Robin Yount or Paul Molitor

*Cardinals - Stan Musial

*Cubs - Ernie Banks or Cap Anson

*Diamondbacks - Randy Johnson

*Dodgers - If you want to go for both Brooklyn and Los Angeles (their entire history in other words), then Jackie Robinson, if you want to just stick to Los Angeles, then probably Sandy Koufax

*Giants - Willie Mays or Christy Mathewson (if you want to focus on their time in New York and not San Francisco)

*Indians - Bob Feller or Nap Lajole

*Mariners - Ken Griffey, Jr.

*Marlins - Jeff Conine or Hanley Ramirez

*Mets - Tom Seaver

*Nationals - Bryce Harper. If you're going to take under consideration their time at the Montreal Expos, then it's a toss up between Andre Dawson, Gary Carter, Vladinir Guerrero, or Tim Raines

*Orioles - Cal Ripken, Jr. (George Sisler if you want to focus on the Orioles' past history as the St. Louis Browns), with Frank Robinson, Jim Palmer and Brooks Robinson not too far behind

*Padres - Tony Gwynn

*Phillies - Mike Schmidt

*Pirates - Honus Wagner

*Rangers - Nolan Ryan or Ivan Rodriguez

*Rays - Evan Longoria

*Reds - Either Pete Rose or Johnny Bench

*Red Sox - Ted Williams

*Rockies - Todd Helton

*Royals - George Brett

*Tigers - Ty Cobb

*Twins - Harmon Killebrew or Kirby Puckett. If you want to include their prior history as the Washington Senators, then Walter Johnson

*White Sox - "Shoeless" Joe Jackson

*Yankees - Babe Ruth

I'd say Chipper Jones for Atlanta Braves.
