Former Dodger All-Star Steve Garvey recalls the team's victory over the New York Yankees in 1981, but his bid for U.S. Senate against Rep. Adam Schiff won't end as happily.
Steve Garvey vividly remembers the final out of the 1981 World Series when the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the New York Yankees. He calls it the highlight of his All-Star baseball career. Even if he did get clobbered seconds later during the wild celebration. Garvey was the Dodgers’ first baseman. Reliever Steve Howe was pitching. Center fielder Ken Landreaux caught a fly ball for the last out. “We all run to the mound. That’s when your dream comes true …,” Garvey recalled.
County, where he was a Dodgers star for 14 seasons, Garvey was winning only 28% of the vote against Schiff’s 71%. Garvey’s main problem is that he wears the wrong uniform. He’s a Republican. And the California GOP isn’t in the same league with Democrats in this blue state. It’s in the low minors. No Republican has won a U.S. Senate seat in California since Pete Wilson was reelected in 1988. Wilson ran as a moderate.
