Steve Garvey avows his belief in "God" with this worshipful inscription to Doug Harvey, "You were always right." The 35", 34.4-oz. bat is uncracked and game ready with Garvey's uniform number "6" notated on the knob and barrel end. A bicentennial brand pinpoints it to the Dodger great's 3rd of 8 straight All Star seasons. Full LOA from PSA/Taube. Auction LOA from JSA for autograph.
The rhyming pair shared some ties to San Diego and once serendipitously wound up at the same roadside restaurant in Arizona. “We had a beer and I said, 'I just want you to know, I think you’re as good as anybody over the years,' " Garvey recounted. "[Harvey] said, 'The same to you...The only time [I got a little mad at you] was when you looked back at me. I knew the fans were going to get on me.' He was a tribute to his profession.”
