Steve Garvey(I)
- Actor
One of the most dependable Major League baseball players in the 70s &
80s, Garvey was also a pretty good football player in his college days
at Michigan State. He was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers and began
playing for them in 1969, but had to wait more than four years before
becoming a regular player. Garvey astounded the baseball world in 1974
when he was selected to start at first base for the National League as
a write-in candidate. Garvey then became a yearly All-Star and helped
the Dodgers to four NL pennants and one World Championship in 1981.
Garvey was traded to the San Diego Padres in 1983, and helped lead them
to the NL Championship the next season. He had 200 hits in a season six
times, had 1308 career RBIs and was a career .294 hitter. A sure
baseball Hall of Famer, Garvey has indicated he would like to pursue a
career in politics.
