The Tommy Lasorda Dodgers era is chock full of legendary figures. The best of the best have been immortalized in baseball’s Hall of Fame. Dodgers fans firmly believe first baseman Steve Garvey deserves his spot in the hall alongside his peers from that golden era: Lasorda, Don Sutton, and Jim Gilliam.
Garvey’s Awards and Accolades
As a Dodger, Garvey slashed .301/.377/.459. Garvey beat out a slew of future Hall of Famers (Lou Brock, Johnny Bench, Mike Schmidt, Joe Morgan, Willie Stargell) and teammate Mike Marshall to win the 1974 NL MVP award.
