I could care less about All Star game accomplishments. Garvey did a couple things better than Perez...and Perez did a few things better than Garvey. I stand by my statement that they were similar players whose overall accomplishments were similar. I don't think either one is a hall of famer. Both played on the two best teams in the NL in the 70s...Reds and Dodgers. Both played in 5 World Series' with two teams. Perez won 2, Garvey won 1. I mean you can fix their stats however you want to. You mention postseason batting average....but I can just as easily say Perez drove in 11 runs in World Series play nearly doubling Garvey's total of 6. Both were very good players who I think are not hall of fame players.

Good Points.
