I was at San Diego airport in ~87 waiting to board when next to me Steve Garvey was also waiting to put two (?) daughters on the plane. It was one of my first star sightings so I was actually unsure if it was actually him.
But then when they boarded and he left a couple other young guys like me were like "yo, that was Steve Garvey!"
He was stiff and it was awkward. Nobody approached him.
Since then I recall flying with Irv Cross, manute Bol, and Newman from Seinfeld, though I was thinking more the fat guy from Jurassic Park at the time. Jerry Rice was at a gate waiting for a flight, not boarding - back in the day when you could do that.
At any rate, Steve Garvey interests me Less Than Zero as a candidate. The airport situation came exactly at the time that he was involved in that news breaking paternity issue.
I have little respect for men who sleep around. It shows a lack of character.
Family Values. Don't make me laugh.
If he had a serious candidate, this would concern me rather than amuse me. Just another disingenious narcissist, I suppose.
Were the girls the same age? Didn't he have two women pregnant at the same time. One of them his wife? It was a long time ago and hard to remember. Back then the Republican Party was the party of family values.
He has been happily married with children since 1989, 35 years ago. He certainly did not have family values before that.
I wouldn't know. He has been irrelevant since he retired from baseball. He was my favorite player as a kid and his signing with the Padres was a big deal in my life.
That reminds me.
I was at candlestick with the wider family once as a kid, late 70's. Aunts, uncles, even grandpa was there, who annoyingly kept predicting that "Vida Blue will pitch 7 innings!"
After the game, I was hanging over the rails as players walked below us. Garvey tossed a ball and I will say of myself "great catch, kid" as I stretched my left and snared it one handed!
We played with it and scuffed it up and then lost it in the junipers.
Thx for reminding me!
I should lookup the box scores of dodgers beating giants with vida going 7 to find the exact date.
