Garvey's star power could make him the leading Republican in the race, but getting elected will be tough. Republican candidates have not"won statewide since 2006," per the LA Times. Garvey spent 19 seasons in the majors, 14 of which came with the Dodgers. He made eight-straight All-Star teams and routinely ranked in the top-10 of MVP voting while playing for Los Angeles. Garvey did take home the award in 1974 after hitting .312/.342/.469, with 21 home runs and 111 RBI. He also helped the Dodgers win the 1981 World Series.
