Steve Garvey’s 1983 San Diego Padres Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History
A Legendary Player
Steve Garvey, a name synonymous with excellence in baseball, is celebrated for his remarkable achievements on the field. As one of only two players to have started an All-Star game as a write-in vote in 1974, Garvey’s career is adorned with numerous accolades. His illustrious journey includes being a 10-time All-Star, a 1981 World Series Champion, a four-time Gold Glove winner, a two-time NLCS MVP, and the recipient of the 1981 Roberto Clemente Award. His legacy is further immortalized with the retirement of his No. 6 jersey by the San Diego Padres.
