Who made it onto the Mount Rushmore of Detroit Tiger Greats and who was left off

Ty Cobb (all-time rankings):
#1 in Batting Avg (.367)
#2 in Hits (4,191)
#2 in Runs (2,245)
#2 in Triples (295)
#4 in Doubles (724)
#4 in Stolen Bases (897)
#6 in Total Bases (5,854)
#9 in RBI (1,944)

I am sure Cobb led every one of these rankings except for Doubles 2nd to (Speaker) and Triples 2nd to (Crawford) and At least 90 ML records Cobb held
at the time of his retirement 1928.

Al Kaline looks down to his third base coach to get the sign during a game against the Baltimore Orioles on June 28, 1959 at Briggs Stadium. The sign was, Al hit a gapper like you so often do!
