Steve Garvey’s bizarre Senate campaign: I think I figured out why he’s really running. (slate.com)
In the months since Steve Garvey, the former Los Angeles Dodgers legend turned Republican political candidate, won a surprise slot in the general election of California’s Senate race, he has continued to run a blank-slate campaign virtually free of substance and mostly under the radar.
But Garvey’s days of coasting along scrutiny-free in this election are over.
In the late ’80s, at the end of his lengthy baseball career, it was revealed that Garvey—known then as Mr. Clean, ironically—was embroiled in multiple extramarital affairs and had also accumulated a staggering amount of debt. The ’90s and early 2000s brought additional, damning reports about how Garvey was racking up more debts with his luxury-filled lifestyle. Now stuffed-away skeletons are once again falling out of his closet.
