2006 Topps Triple Threads, #11/18 ⭐ Steve Garvey - MVP
Let me start by saying that I'm not a Dodgers fan, per se.
However, after Roberto Clemente gave his life on New Year's Eve 1972, Steve Garvey became one of my favorite players.
I remember watching him win two All-Star Game MVP Awards, in 1974 & 1978.
Back then, I got a thrill watching the All-Star game.

I'm not a Dodgers fan, per se, but Steve Garvey is one of my favorite all-time players.
When Roberto Clemente passed away, I feel like Steve Garvey became one of the defining position players of the 70s.
IMO, in 2028 he has a strong case to be voted into the HOF by the Classic Baseball Era Committee, the same group that voted in Dick Allen and Dave Parker.
Garvey was a 10-time All-Star selection, an NL MVP award, four Gold Gloves, a .294 lifetime batting average, over 2,500 hits,
He won the NLCS MVP Award twice, in 1978 with the Dodgers and again in 1984 with the San Diego Padres. He was the first player ever to win the NLCS MVP award twice.

Additionally, he won the MLB All-Star Game MVP Award twice, in 1974 and 1978.

2002 Fleer Fall Classic Rival Factions Dual Jersey⭐ Steve Garvey & Tony Perez
Growing up a Bucs fan in the 1970s, I was captivated by the rivalry in the N.L. West between the Dodgers & Reds to see which of these two dynamos would be playing my Bucs for the N.L. Pennant.
Steve Garvey was arguably my favorite non-Pirate player growing up and I idolized Tony Perez as the model of consistency for The Big Red Machine.
Only recently I learned that this card existed and the rest is history - welcome to the collection.❤

1971 Topps #341, Steve Garvey ⭐ RC
Steve Garvey was one of my favorite non-Pirates growing up.
I begged my Dad to take me to see him play when the Dodgers visited Pittsburgh.
I remember he was a fantastic hitter and clutch too.
Steve Garvey won multiple MVP awards during his 19-year career (1969–1987). His most prominent award was the 1974 N.L. MVP with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He also was a two-time All-Star Game MVP (1974, 1978) and a two-time NL Championship Series MVP (1978, 1984)
I think he will make it into the Hall of Fame some day.
I think he is deserving.

This is a card I love.
Growing up, Steve Garvey was my favorite Los Angeles Dodger and non-Pirate player.
Every time the Dodgers came to play the Bucs at Three Rivers Stadium, I would annoy the crap out of my Dad to take me to see him play.
One time, I even talked my Dad into driving to the Pittsburgh Airport to see the Dodgers airplane - that was cool.😎
