Former baseball great Steve Garvey on Tuesday announced hes running for the late Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinsteins U.S. Senate seat.

I never played for Democrats or Republicans or independents. I played for all of you, Garvey said in a video launching his campaign. Now Im running for U.S. Senate in California, a state that I believe at one time was the heartbeat of America, and now is just a murmur.

Garveys voice-over plays atop footage of his All-Star baseball career as first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres. Its time to get off the bench. Its time to put the uniform on. Its time to get back in the game, the video concludes.

Garveys entry as a Republican candidate into the closely watched Senate race adds to the crowded field of candidates already vying for the seat long held by Democrats.

California Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff, Katie Porter and Barbara Lee have all announced bids for the open post, gunning for the seat as Feinstein had said in the months preceding her passing that she wouldnt try for reelection.

The seat is currently held by Sen. Laphonza Butler (D), a former adviser to Vice President Harris and president of EMILYs List, who was named by California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) to fill the vacancy left by Feinsteins passing.

Newsom opted not to appoint any of the Democrats currently running for the Golden States Senate seat, saying he wouldnt get involved in the primary battle. Its not clear whether Butler will launch her own 2024 bid.

I have a new Republican opponent Steve Garvey. Before he was a multi-millionaire Republican celebrity, he was a first baseman. Based on his announcement, it sounds like hes ready to take up the fight for everyone born on third base thinking they hit a triple. Go figure, Schiff said.

Garvey told The Associated Press in an interview that he voted in the past for former President Trump, but he hadnt decided on who hell support for the White House in 2024.

Im running the Steve Garvey campaign, he said.

Getting Herschel Walker vibes here, except Garvey didn't pay his mistresses to get an abortion. Didn't pay them for child support either.

I guess he saw Tubs become a Senator and thought it was baseball's turn.

To which I say, fuck that.

The top two in the "jungle primary" make it to the General Election. Sometimes the GOP candidate is even 3rd or 4th.
