Sports fans will have the opportunity to enjoy a meet-and-greet session with baseball’s Steve Garvey and Jim Abbott, and football Hall-Of-Famer Eric Dickerson at the 63rd Annual Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) California RV Show at the Fairplex in Pomona, Calif.
According to an announcement, Garvey is called the “Iron Man” for setting the record for National League consecutive games played with 1,207 straight appearances. During his illustrious career, he was a 10-time All-Star and 1974 National League MVP.
Abbott, the left-handed pitcher for the Angels who was born without his right hand, won 18 games for the Angels in 1991. One year later, Abbott was given the Tony Conigliaro Award, given annually by the Boston Red Sox to a Major League player who overcomes an obstacle and adversity through the attributes of spirit, determination, and courage.
Dickerson, who was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1999, played for the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Raiders and holds the NFL’s single-season rushing record with 2,105 yards that was set in 1984.
