...capable of crunching some of Carlton's fastballs over the fence and blowing the playoffs wide open. The numbers tell the whole story: first baseman Steve Garvey (.300, 33 HR's, 115 RBI's), the defensive wizard of right field Reggie Smith (.307, 30, 84), third baseman Ron Cey (30 HR's, 110 RBI's), and left filder Dusty Baker (29, 85) lead the hitting parade...
Smith's blast broke a 5-5 tie and gave the former Brooklynites a 7-5 victory. But Smith was not the only star in the Los Angles constellation of sluggers, as three other Dodgers--Steve Garvey, Ron Cey and Lee Lacy--also homered...
...such indignities for the Dodger fan in Boston. While the Red Sox maraude through the American League East, the Dodgers limp through the National League West. Everyone in Boston these days wants to talk about Lynn, Rice, Doyle, Wise, even Yaz. Nobody wants to hear about Messersmith, Sutton, Cey, Garvey, even Marshall.

Or that Dodger left fielder Bill Buckner went Supermanning through...
...powerful, well-balanced teams that were highly divergent in style and personality. From California's south came the young, efficient National League champions with their motto YOU GOTTA BELIEVE (borrowed from the 1973 champion New York Mets) and a Jack Armstrong image, represented by Third Baseman Ron Cey, who said, "You've got to pull together to win."

...Ferguson has the kind of cleanup power that evokes memories of Campanella. Second Baseman Dave Lopes is hitting a lusty .298 and has stolen 28 bases. And after trying 42 aspirants at third base over the past 15 years, Alston seems to have finally found a winner in Ron Cey, a stocky, sure-gloved fielder who has driven in 55 runs. Along with Shortstop Bill Russell, a third-year converted outfielder who has finally shaken a case of the fumbles that plagued him in 1972, Lopes and Cey have helped plug the Dodgers' once woefully porous infield. Leading...
