Former Dodgers and Padres first baseman Steve Garvey could possibly launch a bid to run for a United States Senate seat in California as a Republican in the 2024 election, Seema Mehta of the Los Angeles Times reported on Thursday.
The 74-year-old has never ran for public office before. However, Republican strategist Andy Gharakhani is advising Garvey during his decision-making process, and he told the L.A. Times that the former MLB star could announce a bid somewhat soon if he so chooses.
“He is being contacted by leaders up and down the state,” Gharakhani said.

MIRAMAR BEACH – The SEC’s schedule debate is over—at least for now.
At their annual spring meetings within the Hilton Sandestin, league administrators agreed to continue playing eight conference games when Texas and Oklahoma arrive in 2024, eschewing a nine-game format in a move that is likely to draw criticism from the rest of the college football world.
In a debate that has raged for more than a year, officials finally agreed to a compromise.
The Celtics will bring back head coach Joe Mazzulla next season and hope that star guard Jaylen Brown, who is eligible for a supermax extension, decides to return as well.
Introductory press conferences are typically a time for celebration and positive outlooks for the future. But new 76ers head coach Nick Nurse found himself in a slightly awkward situation on Thursday when he was asked point-blank what outcome he was hoping for in the James Harden situation.
Harden, who helped lead Philadelphia to the second round of the playoffs in a postseason performance that featured several high and low moments, has a $35.6 million player option for next season.
The NBA announced the officials and referees assigned to this year’s NBA Finals between the Heat and the Nuggets, which begins on Thursday, June 1.
Even though Marc Davis, David Guthrie and Ed Malloy will serve as Game 1’s officiating crew in Denver, the most talked about news from the announcement is that controversial referees Scott Foster and Tony Brothers will work during the Finals.
This will be Foster’s 16th season working the NBA Finals, having already worked 23 Finals games during his career.
Mets radio play-by-play broadcaster Howie Rose was given the great honor — seriously, this America’s version of being knighted — of throwing out the first pitch at Wednesday’s Mets-Phillies Game.
Rose is one of four people — along with players Howard Johnson and Al Leiter, as well as fellow broadcaster Gary Cohen — who will be inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame on Friday.
The Mannings are arguably the most famous family in football, and the name carries a certain level of prestige around the sports world. But in the end, they’re just a regular family who will do their best to get a laugh or two at each other’s expense.
During a Wednesday appearance at a fundraiser ahead of the Dana LPGA Open in Toledo, Peyton Manning told a hilarious story about when his older and strikingly similar-looking brother, Cooper, visited him while he was at college playing for Tennessee.
The brilliance of Nikola Jokić has firmly been on display throughout this year’s NBA playoffs. With the NBA Finals tipping off and the Nuggets in pursuit of their first title, the two-time MVP will be charged with putting together another round of spectacular performances that will surely generate plenty of conversation about his game
While many consider Jokić’s style of play as one that is truly unorthodox, some—like NBA legend Bill Walton—believe the Joker’s skillset is like one of nature’s most essential elements.
Peyton, Cooper and Eli Manning all bear a resemblance to one another. Although they each have their distinct features, the trio of football royalty comes from the Archie and Olivia Manning tree.
They look like Mannings.

The lines are blurred even further after a few drinks.
David “Skywalker” Thompson scored 42 points and teammate Dan Issel added 30 with 20 rebounds for Denver and coach Larry Brown.
But Julius “Dr. J.” Erving and the New York Nets were too much in the last ABA game ever played.
