Garvey was in a spirited debate with Adam Schiff yesterday.
Garvey credited his choosing MSU to Spartan head football coach Duffy Daugherty's encouraging him to be a multi-sport athlete.
At MSU, Garvey recorded 30 tackles and earned a letter as a defensive back in 1967. His first at-bat in a Spartan uniform resulted in a grand-slam home run, with the ball landing in the Red Cedar River.
Garvey was named Michigan State Baseball Distinguished Alumnus of the Year in 2009, inducted into the Michigan State University Hall of Fame in 2010, and retired his baseball jersey (number 10) from Michigan State University in 2014.
Garvey played first base for the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres from 1969 to 1987 and was a ten-time All-Star.
