Well, let me tell ya, I been hearin’ ’bout this Candace Garvey gal. She was born all the way back on November 18, 1958, in San Marino, California. Now, don’t go askin’ where that is, but I reckon it’s a fancy place, I hear tell. Candace ain’t someone you’d forget easy, ’cause she’s tied to all kinds of folks. But you see, the real story here ain’t just about her bein’ born in California, no ma’am. It’s ’bout who she’s married to and who’s been part of her life, especially her husband, Steve Garvey.
Now, Steve Garvey, he’s a big name in the world of baseball. Played for them Dodgers, ya know? That’s right, the same Dodgers what folks cheer for and holler at, swingin’ them bats and all. Candace, bless her heart, she’s been there right by his side through it all. From the time Steve was out there on the field to when he got himself on the National Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, Candace was there. That was back in 1993 when they started lookin’ at him for the Hall of Fame. And let me tell ya, it wasn’t no quick fix. The man stayed on the ballot all the way until 2007. That’s a mighty long time, ain’t it?
But Candace, well, she don’t just sit around. You look at her social media, and you can see she’s proud of her family. On Instagram, she don’t hold back. She shares pictures of Steve, their children, and of course, those Dodgers. She got herself 1,956 followers, but I reckon that don’t mean nothin’ unless you’re on that fancy internet thing like them city folks. I don’t quite understand all that, but I know she sure does share a lot ’bout her life. She posts, what is it, 787 times? My, oh my, I can’t even remember to send a letter half the time, let alone keep up with somethin’ like that!
Now, if you ask me, Candace seems like a woman who stands by her man, and that’s somethin’ that gets overlooked sometimes. People love talkin’ about the big names in sports, but they don’t always take time to think about the folks who stand behind ’em. And Candace? She’s one of them folks. She’s been there, watchin’ him play, cheerin’ him on, and bein’ part of his life, all the while raisin’ a family and keepin’ things together. Ain’t that somethin’?
But don’t go thinkin’ she’s just another wife standin’ in the shadow of a famous man. Candace, she’s got her own voice, her own life. Sure, her husband might be famous, but Candace is a name folks remember, too. She’s right there in the thick of it with her family and the Dodgers. Whether it’s at home with her kids or out there supportin’ Steve at them big games, Candace is always present, and that’s a rare thing, I tell ya.
So, what I’m sayin’ is, if you ain’t heard of Candace Garvey before, well, now you have. She’s more than just a name beside Steve Garvey. She’s a lady who’s got her own place in this world, even if she ain’t out there lookin’ for all the attention. Ain’t that what we all should be doin’—lovin’ our folks and takin’ care of what’s ours, just like Candace has done for all these years?
