Legend:

Steve Garvey was one of the most clutch hitters of his time during his 19-year career with the Dodgers then Padres. He batted .338 with 31 RBI’s in 55 postseason games, while two NLCS MVP’s along the way. He was a great number 4 or 5 hitter in the lineup, while he hit for average and power. Garvey was a 10-time all-star and won the NL MVP in 1974. Steve hit over .300 7 times in his prime and collected 200+ hits 6 times, 100+ RBI’s 5 times. He was also a brilliant fielder collecting 4 gold gloves at 1B. Despite him being a selfish player whom the media and fans often disliked, Garvey was truly a remarkable player who should have gotten a better shot at the Hall of Fame, as he never received more than 41.6% of the vote.
