Former National League MVP Steve Garvey has joined the race to succeed late California Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

Garvey gives Republicans some star quality on the ballot in a heavily Democratic state where the GOP hasn't won a Senate race in 35 years.

The perennial All-Star played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres.

"I never played for Democrats or Republicans or independents. I played for all of you," Garvey said in the video, "It's going to be a commonsense campaign."
