    California Republicans are hoping Steve Garvey is in a league of his own

    by George Skelton, Los Angeles Times Oct 12, 2023 3 minutes
    Former Dodgers first baseman Steve Garvey, a Republican now running for the U.S. Senate, at a game against the New York Yankees at Dodger Stadium in June.

    There are two new major questions about California's U.S. Senate race. And the answers will determine the shape of the contest.

    One, will former baseball star Steve Garvey be a political big leaguer or a bust?

    Two, will touted rookie Sen. Laphonza Butler enter the game or sit it out?

    Pardon the baseball lingo, but Garvey leaned on it heavily himself in a video announcing his candidacy Tuesday. And all voters actually know about the 74-year-old is that he played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres decades ago — if they know that.

    But if as he was a ballplayer, and Democrat Butler steps onto the field, it may well mean this: Only one Democrat — not two as has been anticipated — will advance from the March primary to the November general election next year.
