in game 4 of the 1984 nlcs, the padres were down 2 games to 1. they were leading the cubs 5-3 in the 8th inning when goose gossage gave up the tying runs. with one out in the bottom of the 9th, tony gwynn singled and garvey followed with a walk off home run off of lee smith, giving the pads a 7-5 victory. they closed out the series the following day behind more gwynn and garvey clutch hits, and garvey was voted the series mvp.
in all, garvey hit 11 postseason home runs and 2 all star game home runs to go along with the 272 regular season dingers.
if you thought this post was exciting, just wait about 7 years when post number 2599 will celebrate his regular season hit total.
while i already had this card, i did not have the coupon attachment. 
nice. i've never had a whopper, by the way.
i remember watching gaylord get his 3000th strikeout on tv with the padres. he looks pretty old here, but he was only 37 at the start of the 1976 season. he looks like he's in his 50's. 
i guess the 1990 set was so popular, they did a second set. really?
how many slurpees did it take to get a sheffield?
these are so much better than the fake tatoos or whatever toy surprises they used to have in cracker jack.
looks like donruss wanted some of the action. too bad these aren't variations of the regular set, though.
the next .400 hitter?
it looks like dale got his teeth capped. no cavity creeps, that's for sure.
the future dodger pitching coach with the cindy brady pose.
shairon martis
not bad company for the 3-dog to be in. this was a buck as the front is a bit scuffed, but still, aaron, musial, frobby, and a dodger (and bill white, of course). awesome.
1959 was a big year for charlie, too. career highs in runs, hits, doubles, triples (he led the league with 11), rbi and stolen bases. charlie was an all-star, won a gold glove, finished 8th in the mvp balloting and hit .370 in the world series to boot.
joe is a cousin of pete falcone. he was john roseboro's backup in 1959.
technically not a dodger, but still. 
'uncle robbie' managed the brooklyn robins from 1914 to 1931, winning two pennants. they were the dodgers for one year prior to his taking over as manager, and then renamed the 'robins' after the new manager. when robinson retired, they went back to being known as the 'dodgers'.
dazzy won 190 games for brooklyn over 12 seasons. he won a world series with st louis in 1934. if you think he looks rough, you should see the zach wheat card from this set.
best known as a pirate, this hall of famer finished his career with 4 years in brooklyn. he lost 3 years during his time in brooklyn to what i assume to be military service.
looks like bob is playing catch in the front yard.
hondo without his glasses. 1964 was his final year with the dodgers, although topps would show him with the blue on his 1965 card.
wes parker stuck, but john werhas appeared in only 40 games over three seasons with the dodgers. to my knowledge, he did not appear on 'batman' or 'the brady bunch'. game, set, match parker.
no relation to bernie.
1965 was podres' last full year with the dodgers. he was sent to detroit after appearing in just one game for the dodgers in 1966.
roseboro is best known for taking over the catching for campanella and for getting struck in the head by juan marichal's bat. he also won his second gold glove in 1966, but went just 1 for 14 in the world series against the orioles that year.
1968 was aguirre's only year with the dodgers. he appeared in 25 games and had 3 saves.
and two other guys. singer had 227 strikeouts in 1968 and led the league with a 8k/9ip ratio.
slowly making progress on the 1976 set.
i like the variation. i thought i had this and the mariners version, but i didn't. still looking for the mariners version.
blue refractors rule.
