Steve Garvey
He was the MVP in 1974; He was a ten time All-Star and World Series Champion (1981)
Garvey's career took another significant turn when he signed with the San Diego Padres in 1982. His time with the Padres was marked by several memorable moments, including his dramatic walk-off home run in Game Four of the 1984 National League Championship Series (NLCS), which helped propel the Padres to their first-ever World Series appearance. Garvey's performance in that series earned him the NLCS MVP award for the second time in his career. His leadership and consistency were further highlighted by his NL record of 1,207 consecutive games played, a testament to his durability and commitment to the game.
Throughout his career, Garvey was a ten-time National League All-Star, with nine of those selections as the starting first baseman, a record that still stands for his position. His impact on the game extended beyond his playing days, as the Padres retired his No. 6 jersey in 1988, honoring his contributions to the franchise. In addition to his on-field achievements, Garvey was also involved in philanthropic efforts, serving as vice president of the organization No Greater Love, which focused on supporting families of fallen military personnel.
In October 2023, Garvey made headlines once again, this time in the political arena, when he announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate from California in the 2024 election. Running as a Republican, Garvey advanced to the general election after finishing a close second in the March 2024 top-two primary, just behind Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff. Additionally, Garvey finished first in the special election primary to fill the remainder of the term for the seat vacated by Laphonza Butler, setting up a high-profile showdown with Schiff in both the general and special elections.
