The term "iconic" nowadays is an overused, and many times misplaced adjective to describe a celebrity, sports figure, etc. Whatever. The following certainly applies.......
Being fortunate (and old enough) to have seen lots of baseball games from 1949 - 1960, in my book Mickey Mantle and Jackie Robinson are the 1950's guys. And this is how I gauge this......if you were busy at whatever in your everyday activities, and you were near a TV or radio, you stopped everything when you knew Jackie or Mickey were at bat and your undivided attention was with them. In the 1920's, it would have been Babe Ruth. In the 1930's and the 1940's, Joe DiMaggio. Also, in the 1940's, Ted Williams and Stan Musial. In the 1960's, Sandy Koufax. In the 1970's, Reggie Jackson and Pete Rose. TED Z . Last edited by tedzan; 06-20-2016 at 07:51 AM. Reason: Correct typo.
