Jim is joined by Hall of Fame voter and senior sportswriter for Sportico, Barry Bloom, to breakdown down the resume of former MLB first basemen Steve Garvey. First, Barry and Jim discuss Garvey's consistency and ironman streak (6:07). Next, they cover his game-winning home run in Game 4 of the 1984 NLCS, how Garvey compares to recent HOF inductee Gil Hodges, and Barry provides his thoughts on WAR (10:49). Finally, Jim and Barry debate whether there is a place for 1st basemen who only hit for average power in the HOF (39:44), before they both make a final call on whether or not they believe Garvey deserves to gain entry into Cooperstown (49:24).
