Steven Patrick Garvey (born December 22, 1948) is an American former professional baseball player and candidate in the upcoming 2024 United States Senate election in California. He played in Major League Baseball as a first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres from 1969 to 1987.
Garvey began his major league career with the Dodgers in 1969. He won the National League (NL) Most Valuable Player Award in 1974 and was the National League Championship Series MVP in 1978. Garvey won his only World Series ring as a member of the Dodgers' 1981 Series-winning squad.
Garvey signed with the Padres in December 1982 and remained with the team until 1987, when his playing career ended. In 1984, Garvey was once again named a National League Championship Series MVP; he hit a dramatic walk-off home run to win Game Four of the Championship Series for the Padres. Overall, Garvey was an NL All-Star for 10 seasons. He holds the NL record for consecutive games played with 1,207. The Padres retired Garvey's No. 6 in 1988.
In October 2023, Garvey announced his candidacy as a Republican for U.S. Senate from California in the 2024 election for the term starting in January 2025. He finished a close second in the March 2024 "jungle primary", 3,478 votes behind Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, advancing them both to the general election.[1] Garvey finished first in the partial term special election primary to replace Laphonza Butler with that term ending in January 2025. He will face Schiff in that election.[1]
