Steve Garvey was actually a vastly overrated player during his playing career
Well didn't play for a Podunk franchise and still is...
Garvey played for the Dodgers from 1969 through 1982. He is fifth in team history in hits (1,968) and runs batted in (992), sixth in home runs (211), extra-base hits (579) and total bases (3,004) and third in doubles (333).
I mean does he have to be Babe Ruth to get into the HOF?

I would be maybe 1 or 2 people on this board could even guess the Dodgers top 5 HR hitters career
Team has a rich history, not so much on the hitting side.

Garvey is a Hall of Very Good player, but his advanced stats aren't up to the HoF.
Average HoF Positional Player:
BA: .302
OBP: .376
SLG: .465
OPS: .841
WAR: 69
Garvey:
BA: .294
OBP: .329
SLG: .446
OPS: .775
WAR: 38.1
Additionally, Garvey didn't have great OPS+ or wRC+ for his career with the numbers being 117 and 116 respectively.
His batting average is close, but the rest of his numbers really aren't.
