Is Garvey's character issues that much of a problem for him? When he was playing, there was very little doubt that he'd be a sure-fire HOF'er. Really surprised he's not at least garnering stronger consideration.
But when Garvey was playing he was Mr Baseball. The All American boy that could do no wrong. His problems surfaced after he retired didn't they? I know he left a string of babies in National League cities.
Mattingly should be in. He had the misfortune of playing for those bad Yankee teams. If he had made a couple of series he would be in already. The Yankees have so many in already I think he kind of gets lost in the shuffle.
