Settle down. Those were the days when players were past their prime not long after 30. Garvey never hit .300 again after age 31. His game declined sharply after that point as Perez did after that age. For you to tell me why wasn't a man 7 years older than Garvey in his prime beating him out to start all star games borders on craziness. All star game starts is something I don't even consider when judging players. And Perez was a much better player from 32 to 38 than Garvey was. I prefer Perez at any age over Garvey. And I honestly can't tell you why a 1st baseman who slugged .373, had an OBP of
.307 and hit under 10 home runs was starting an all star game I simply cannot tell you. So 1984 alone should tell you what all star starts mean.
So if you want to tell me a 1st baseman with a .670 OPS, 8 home runs and a
.284 average and 24 walks in 617 at bats is an all star starter which means he is a better player than Tony Perez continue on with full force is all I can say. Of course he also got an all star start in 1985 when his OPS was all the way up to .779 and he OBP was way up to .318 and 35 walks in 654 at bats.
So I'm sorry I'm not impressed with all those all star starts by Garvey. You keep on keeping on though.
