10 Reasons Why Steve Garvey Deserves To Be In Baseball’s Hall of Fame
Спорт
I am not watching another MLB game until baseball finally puts Steve Garvey in its Hall of Fame.
Here’s 10 Reasons Why Steve Garvey deserves to be in Baseball’s Hall of Fame.
10. Steve Garvey was the best 10-time All-Star there ever was. THAT’S RIGHT! THE BEST ALL-STAR THERE EVER WAS-ranking 1st in OPS for anyone with 25+ All-Star plate appearances (1.255 in 30 plate appearances); 1st in slugging percentage (.821); 3rd in batting average (.393); 5th in on-base percentage (.433); 5th in runs scored (7); and 8th in RBIs (7). Plus, he is one of only five superstars to win All-Star Game MVP twice.
9. Steve Garvey was one of 26 men in baseball history to start in 9 All-Star Games … THE ONLY ONES NOT IN THE HALL OF FAME ARE BARRY BONDS, ALEX RODRIGUEZ, ICHIRO SUZUKI (who isn’t eligible yet) AND STEVE GARVEY.
8. Steve Garvey did not miss an MLB game in 8 seasons and had a 1,207 consecutive-game streak that currently ranks fourth all-time in baseball history.
7. You could pen Steve Garvey in for 201 hits & 104 RBI averages his first 7 seasons as the Dodgers starting first baseman while a part of baseball’s most famous infield of Garvey-Lopes-Russell-Cey. Only a 1981 baseball strike could break Garvey’s 200/100 averages.
6. Steve Garvey is one of 18 players in baseball history with 6 200-hit seasons.
5. Steve Garvey played in 5 World Series with a .550 postseason slugging percentage that currently ranks ninth all-time for players with 150-plus plate appearances (Garvey slugged .550 in 232 postseason plate appearances).
4. Steve Garvey is the only first baseman in baseball history with 4 Gold Gloves and 10 All-Star Games.
3. Steve Garvey is one of four men to pull baseball’s 3-MVP hat trick-winning regular season MVP, a postseason MVP and an All-Star Game MVP (Fred Lynn, Frank and Brooks Robinson are the others).
2. Steve Garvey is baseball’s only 2-time National League Championship Series MVP ... THE ONLY TWO-TIME LCS MVP EVER!
1. In his prime-from 1974 when he was named National League MVP as a 25-year-old to 1985 when he played his last 162-game season as a 36-year-old, no one had more hits than Steve Garvey, who had 2,180 hits … NO ONE HAD MORE HITS!
STEVE GARVEY IS THE MOST CLUTCH ALL-STAR, BIGGEST POST-SEASON SUPERSTAR THERE EVER WAS.
AND STILL THESE JOKERS REFUSE TO PUT HIM IN THEIR HALL OF FAME.
RIGHT NOW, I AM WRITING A SEQUEL TO “FIELD OF DREAMS” WHERE I TAKE STEVE GARVEY AND A BUNCH OF SNUBBED LEGENDS, AND WE KICK THE HALL OF FAMERS’ COLLECTIVE ASS!
I’LL CALL THE MOVIE “FIELD OF DREAMS II: DECLARING WAR ON WAR”
STEVE GARVEY IS MY FIRST BASEMAN. PETE ROSE, SECOND BASE. AROD, THIRD BASE. BILL DAHLEN, SHORTSTOP. BARRY BONDS, SHOELESS JOE & MANNY RAMIREZ, OUTFIELD. WITH ROGER CLEMENS PLAYING CATCH WITH BILL FREEHAN.
AND IN THE NINTH INNING, STEVE GARVEY HITS A HOME RUN TO WIN THE GAME LIKE HE ALWAYS DID WHEN HE WAS SURROUNDED BY THE BIGGEST STARS UNDER THE BRIGHTEST LIGHTS.
STEVE GARVEY NEVER DID STEROIDS OR GAMBLED ON THE GAME, SO THERE IS NO REASON TO LOCK HIM OUT OF BASEBALL’S HALL OF FAME.
STEVE GARVEY IS 74 YEARS OLD NOW, AND BASEBALL OWES HIM AN APOLOGY FOR NOT INDUCTING IN THE LAST THREE DECADES.
STEVE GARVEY WAS A SUPERSTAR’S SUPERSTAR.
STEVE GARVEY IS A HALL OF FAMER.

Thank you very much.
I was at the night game #4 - 1984 playoff game at Jack Murphy S.C. when Steve Garvey hit a home run to right off the Cubs relief pitcher. Next day Padres won the 5 game going to the WS ! Padres would've never won the 84 NL without Mr. Clutch ! HOF - Do the right thing ; Steve Garvey deserves to be in HOF !🏆⚾️

What a moment!
No question he should be in the hall of fame. He was also the fist basemen when Aaron broke the HR record, and Rose broke the hits record. I believe he also has the highest ever fielding percentage as a first baseman.

I remember seeing Aaron & Rose and yes now I remember Garv being there for both milestones.
Garvey is HOFer for sure no doubt about it!!! Anyone paying attention in the 70's and 80's knows this!!!!

Remember Steve Garvey from my childhood & agree with you. BUT remember that the Hall of Fame is basically a nonprofit corporation separate from MLB. So not watching MLB won’t sway the HoF voters. But you nailed it. The man should be in the Hall. He was a great player & he was also good for MLB. I had some ideas about a competing Hall at one time. It’s easier than you think & outlined it myself. It was going to use real fans & real writers to honor PLAYERS & MOMENTS instead of the idiocy like the Pro Football Hall of same dealt with.

I think you got something there. But let’s think bigger. How about a Universal Hall of Fame that covers all sports. Imagine the funding you could get before that if done right.
Big Red Machine fan as a kid, so a I naturally hated the Dodgers & Garvey. Steve Garvey... and Thurman Munson are HOF's in my opinion. Both were fantastic in the playoffs as well.

Those 1975 & 1976 Reds were unbeatable. I’m just happy the 1981 Dodgers got it done after so many years of finishing 2nd in the NL West to the Reds or 2nd in the World Series to Reggie’s Yankees & A’s.
I was with you until you said BARRY BONDS?😂😅

No ten reasons needed. This is the only question that should be asked of potential hall of famers. Were they one of the very top at their position for ten years. Garvey was.

I was a Giants fan, so I sort of hated that guy from the time I was about 10 years old. Garvey is not in Cooperstown, seriously? Did he pee in someone's Wheaties or something, what the hell MLB?

BuT hIS ObP WuZ oNlY .338. (sarcasm). Guys like him weren't paid to draw walks, they were paid to drive in runs and get hits. I hate how today's standards are applied to people from that time period.

Love your comment. I hate when 21st Century know-it-alls judge 1970s players they know nothing about.
Steve Garvey would be the only player inducted into the Hall of Fame who couldn't throw a baseball.

@@michaelkolacz4449 has same stats as Trammell.... but look at Omar Visquel's stats - he should be in easy as well..... If you are not White and played for a small market team , the Hall looks the other way.
