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.

Well,you're just one of many that don't like Garvey,but to compare him to that piece of crap Perez is low. I'M never gunna let your forget it,either.Garvey has a league MVP,and you don't.You never got beyond 3rd in the voting.Garvey came 2nd in the voting in'78 also.You're not matching up with Garvey.You don't have the numbers.Garvey getting in to the HOF is probably not gunna happen,but he was a whole lot better than Tony Perez was.Well,**** man why don't you answer me why Garvey was starting 1st base in ALLSTAR GAMES in front of Perez? Perez was playing atleast 130 games per year '74 through '79.If he was better,or of equal ability, why didn't he start in the ALLSTAR GAME IN FRONT OF GARVEY? YOUR 1ST BASEMAN NEVER F'N EVER DID(AND NEVER WILL)START AS AN ALLSTAR 1ST BASEMAN.Garvey was a starting allstar 1st baseman 9 times.Even if you go to the "he didn't deserve it" card,and say he only deserved to start in half of those years,where is Perez to match that?Played same position,Garvey got voted in 9 times to start at 1st base.****** like you gunna tell me Perez was his match? Damn idiot.
