I met Steve Garvey circa 1978 at the San Diego zoo. He was with his wife, Cindy and their daughter. I had my Dodger cap on and he noticed it, and said “I like that cap”! My mom adored him. (I was a fan of Steve Yeager, to be honest) but he and his family waited until a zoo employee could find a mechanical pencil so that he could sign my little sisters autograph book. I became an incredible Steve Garvey fan from then on. I was 12 years old. The joy he brought to my mother was something to see. Sadly, my mom, little sister, as well as my little brother who was there, ( he never even remembered the zoo)? And my dad are all gone. But that memory, as well as thousands of other Dodger memories will be with me forever. Go Dodgers!
I watched through my childhood met 4:13 him and got his adigraph he was super nice and smiled the whole time I also to say This great ballplayer out every ground ball every fly ball he was true player hustling on every every play I saw with my own eyes he was great player
the fact that Todd Helton is in the HOF but Garvey isn't, just proves how biased and unfair the election committee is. no oversight, just personnel feelings based on loosely interpreted criteria
Two overdue honors for "Popeye Arms" Steve Garvey: 1. Dodgers retire his number 6. 2. Induction into the Baseball Hall Of Fame. FYI: Steve beat Cancer!
The Dodgers have a policy to only retire players who are in the HOF. THey made the first exception with Junior Gilliam and just announced the second with Fernando. Garvey next?
For those who don't know: Steve Garvey played in 11 playoff series in his career, and was the LEADER IN HITS AMONG BOTH TEAMS IN THOSE 11 SERIES 7 TIMES. Show me anyone else who's done that. Absolute clutch playoff performer. He had SIX 200-hit seasons! The only First Baseman with more than that is Lou Gehrig! Garvey batted in 1036 teammates in his career;; Mike Schmidt batted in 1047 teammates during his career. Garvey was great! Let's admit it, and put him in the Hall!
My favorite player of all time, when he left for the Padres I was 12 years old and heartbroken... because I knew I had to go with him as well. I still rooted for LAD but not against SG. Bring from Philadelphia my favorite team is America Team the Dallas Cowboys and with his red, white and blue wristbands which I had to wear as well...I felt like he was an extension. Also if Dodgers fans do not know...my favorite coach in baseball was LaSorda and he was a huge fellow Cowboys fan. He took the Dodgers on an annual trip to the Cowboys training camp site in Thousand Oaks.The DALLAS COWBOYS WEEKLY NEWSPAPER covered the visit every year. The Cowboys and Dodgers to me were perfect together..Rams never mattered..I stopped watching baseball but I still love Garevey, a true American hero...WHY IS HE NOT IN THR HALLOT FAME??????
Senator Steve Garvey ... in Nov of 2024 Garvey in the 70's ... I was there, in the 70, Dodger stadium. Lived in LA , married had two boys ... It was magic! And the dodger line up was mind boggling . One of the best times of my life, a girl from Arkansas moved to NYC and married, came to LA and my boys loved base ball... We lived at Dodger stadium. The rest is history. Steve Garvey , you are the best Garvey is running for US Ca Senator 2024... Its magic again... and you sir have my vote for Senator in Nov 2024 . Let this bad boy have the torch for Ca... Its not over till its over... Orange County Ca resident !
Steve was a part of a vastly underrated infield that were together for nearly ten years. I'll throw it back to something Davey Lopes said years back- "when you talk of one of us, you talk of us all." Him, Garvey, Cey & Russell were the modern-day version of Tinker to Evers to Chance, although, a bit better, as all had different styles of hitting. All of them deserved The Hall as A Combination. One wasn't better than the other, as they will never be duplicated. ⚾⚾
Good Lord. "WAR" barely existed during Garvey's career, friend. You obviously never saw him play. The man could hit homeruns, start a rally with a bunt hit, was a gold glove fielder and was always clutch. WAR, smh.
i can believe it. the election committee are composed of mostly East coast writers who have a personnel bias. if Garvey and Hodges were a Yankee or Red Sox, they would have been elected in decades ago.
Steve Garvey, my Jr and Senior high school classmate and friend as well as Honor Roll student and student council president has MLB stats that speak volumes for his talents. Cannot understand the Hall voters dissing the man, period !
Steve Garvey's HOF snub is one of the cruelest in history. he was easily the best first baseman in baseball for about a 10 year period. there must be something more to the story we're not aware of, like the East coast baseball writers have some sort of a personnel vendetta against him. because if you look at his career numbers on offense and defense and the post season, he's clearly a hall of famer.
Great tribute although I'd rather see vintage videos of Steve Garvey and not cartoon cutouts. Hmm June 6 1968 was Robert F Kennedy death which took place in Los Angeles. I too believe Steve ought to be in the Hall.
I was at that game got his bubble head and got to watch Will Smith Game Winner HR the guy a couple rows to my right made the catch unbelievable night! Just awesome to experience something like the crowd went crazy! 38 years being a Dodgers fan 💙 🤍
Great video! As a kid growing up in the 70s as a Dodgers fan.. Garvey was my idol.. the man belongs in the Hall of Fame
I am 58 I grew up in pacific palisades I was a stadium

I could listen to that man read the phone book, and id love it
Two Dodger legends. Vin and Garvey.
Steve Garvey should be in the Hall of Fame!!!!
Too bad he won’t be because of politics now that he’s running for
Senate 😂 as a Republican.
Absolutely Both Garvey and And Dave Parker should be in the hall
I watched through my childhood met 4:13 him and got his adigraph he was super nice and smiled the whole time I also to say This great ballplayer out every ground ball every fly ball he was true player hustling on every every play I saw with my own eyes he was great player

Vin Scully would read a McDonald's menu and make it very memorable
This guy should be in the Hall Of Fame. Mr. Clutch.

Former LA/OC gal myself, when we moved back to Cali in the early 80’s I just thought Steve Garvey was so cute! Haha
He was my idol as a young baseball player. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
Love it.. Just love it! Thank you Mr. Scully and #6 and #14.... True Blue.
Why am I crying.. lol
1974 was Steve Garvey’s Year!
Time for the Hall, Steven.
RIP Vin
Steve garvey leyend of dodgers forever!!
Belongs in the HOF.
He was born to play with the Dodgers. He would play against the Yankees a few times in the World Series.
Skip Demariastein said Reggie never interfered with sticking out hip
Soy de veracruz mexico?eres inolvidable para mi garvey
And he's still not in the HOF, what a shame! Same with Lou Whitaker.
Beautiful
Way over due
Garvey is good , but Vins storytelling is masterclass. What’s above a hall of fame? There you reside Vin. RIP

I can't believe Gil Hodges and Steve Garvey are not in the Hall
garvey's WAR is 38.0. most HOFers are above 60 WAR.
Good Lord. "WAR" barely existed during Garvey's career, friend. You obviously never saw him play. The man could hit homeruns, start a rally with a bunt hit, was a gold glove fielder and was always clutch. WAR, smh.

Love vin YO
What a great video!
Steve Garvey, my Jr and Senior high school classmate and friend as well as Honor Roll student and student council president has MLB stats that speak volumes for his talents. Cannot understand the Hall voters dissing the man, period !
Wow
Hall of fame.
The end.
Dads favorite player !
Go Green, Go White, Steve Garvey Michigan State Ilumni.
Garvey for Senate 🇺🇸
