Steve Garvey

APRIL 16, 1983 — Entering his first season wearing a Padres uniform after spending the first 14 years of his career with the Dodgers, one thing hadn't changed for first baseman Steve Garvey, his consecutive-games-played streak. On April 16, 1983, Garvey broke Billy Williams' National League record by appearing in his 1,118th consecutive game, a record that still stands today.
