It really is no contest between Garvey and Hodges. Truth be told, I didn't like Garvey when I was a kid because of his arrogance, but I loved his play. I didn't appreciate his presence until he was traded to the Padres. Still, the stats don't lie. And, while I give Tony Perez a hard time for making it to the HOF, his longevity (and pennants and World Series rings) could be a reason why voters went for him vs. Hodges and Garvey. Personally, I would vote in Hodges. I would not vote in Garvey. Garvey .294 BA, .329 OBP, 272 HR, 1308 RBI, 83 SB, 19 seasons Hodges .273, .359, 370, 1274, 31, 18 seasons Perez .279 .341 379 1652 49, 23 seasons
