Jerry Reuss isn’t at all surprised that his former Dodgers teammate Steve Garvey is running for the U.S. Senate.
The shocking part for Reuss is that it took Garvey so long to launch his political career.
“He’s a 75 years old rookie,” Reuss recently told The Times in an email.
Reuss was a left-handed pitcher who played for eight teams over 22 Major League Baseball seasons. Garvey was an infielder and one of the most popular Dodgers in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Their baseball careers intersected in Los Angeles from 1979-82.
