Steve Garvey is a former first baseman. Garvey played football and baseball at Michigan State University after graduating from Chamberlain High School. Garvey played his entire career in the National League West for two teams; the Los Angeles Dodgers (1969-82) and the San Diego Padres (1983-87). He batted right and threw right. In a 19-year career, Garvey was a .294 hitter with 272 home runs and 1308 RBI in 2332 games played. Garvey was part of the most enduring infield in baseball history, along with third baseman Ron Cey, shortstop Bill Russell and second baseman Davey Lopes. The four infielders stayed together as the Dodgers' starters for eight and a half years. Garvey is one of only two players to have started an All-Star Game as a write-in vote, doing so in 1974. Garvey set a National League record with 1207 consecutive games played, from September 3, 1975, to July 29, 1983.
