You act as though Garvey had his career cut short. He played in 2300 games! He should have amassed better numbers than he did. He was a very good 1st baseman for 5 years, ok for 7, and below average for 4. He did nothing so outstanding that seperated him from other good but not great players. The amusing part of your argument is that he is everything that you accuse me of being biased toward. A guy who played a lot, hung on for a long time, had a decent peak but was pretty middle of the road for the rest of his career.
