Dodger fan in Giants territory

HI folks... I am a HUGE (love the caps) Dodger fan living in SF Giants land (Monterey). I grew up with the Dodgers in the 70's and consider Steve Garvey a God. He was and still is my favorite baseball guy ever. I actually became a Padres fan for a few years when the Dodgers let him go in '83. I was even there when he struck out in his last at bat with the Dodgers in Candlestick Park. That year, the Dodgers sucked (at least for me). Garvey was my guy!!! I hope to the heavens that the veterans committee will see that what he did before the steroid era was truly remarkable. Sure, compared to big mac or the demigod Pujols, he is just good but not great. But, one of those two got there with a little help from the 'ole needle. Don't get me wrong, I love Mac but Garvey should get a bit more consideration with all that has transpired. Am I wrong?
