I didn't say singlehandedly,but I grew up with the 70's Dodgers.Sutton was our dominant starter,and the consistent offense was there from Garvey.He didn't take many games off,and he was a reliable offensive leader on this team.Dusty came n' went.Cey was too streaky.Lopes was the good player(not great) that you're trying to make Garvey out to be.Russell was (of course) pretty much puke.Without Garvey,the Dodgers wouldn't have won even division titles in the 70's.I have to say though that he was the Corey Nakatani as far as interviews went(Cliche you into a deep sleep.)
