What about this guy? I know he had an odd personality,but, without him, I honestly don't think the Dodgers would have had nearly the success they did from '74-'81.All those 200+ hit seasons......They weren't Ichiro hits.They were mainly hits that were clutch,and led to division titles,and 4 World Series appearances(the last resulting in a ring.)

He's tending to his hundred of children - he he he!

You had to remind me of '84, didn't you. ?!

Hmmm! Reminds me of Kirk Gibson also. OK! so he was not a 3B!

No,I wrote nothing about his 5th World Series appearance.Of that Dodger infield of the 70's-early 80's,I think the only one that retired as a Dodger was Billy Russell(how did that bumblin' Okie ever get a ring?) They brought the '81 team back for a reunion a couple years ago.Too bad Cey,Lopes,and Garvey couldn't have retired as Dodgers,but that isn't realistic.As for Garvey's personal life,I don't know much about it.Doesn't help that he married a pretty mental patient named Cindy.You are probably right. His private life will (most likely)keep a very good player from ever getting into the Hall.
