PEREZ DOESN'T EVEN QUALIFY (MINIMUM 100)IN THE HOF monitor.He has a 81 VERSUS GARVEY'S 130.5.YEAH THAT'S REAL CLOSE YOU HALF ******.That's not name calling.Anybody can observe it's half retarded to write what you did.

Perez and Garvey had similar careers. I will repeat myself. Perez had much more power. He had an OBP 15 points higher in his career than Garvey. I consider OBP a more imoprtant stat than batting average. Perez had a higher career slugging percentage. HOF voters are more interested in regular season stats than postseason otherwise Don Larsen and Brian Doyle would be in the HOF. All I said was I don't think tony Perez belongs in the HOF. I don't think Garvey belongs in the HOF either.
Please do not use the word retarded to describe my posts on this subject. I am sure many if not most baseball fans would agree with me that Steve Garvey is not HOF material and many would agree that Tony Perez is aobut on a par with Steve Garvey as a player. In fact, many would consider him better and some (mostly LA fans) would go with Garvey which is fine. If I were picking a team I would choose the first baseman that got on base more, hit more home runs and slugged for a higher percentage over the higher average, less power 1st baseman. Personally, I would say Tony Perez is a better player than Steve Garvey. And I have stated from the beginning that I do not think Perez is deserving of the HOF either.
