08:16 AM ET 04.23 | Steve Garvey, one of the most popular players in Dodgers history, said Friday that he has teamed with billionaire business magnate Ron Burkle in an investment group that would like to buy the team. Commissioner Bud Selig seized control of the Dodgers this week, dramatically increasing the chances the team eventually would be sold. In that event, Garvey said, he believes his baseball background and Burkle's business acumen could help the Dodgers reclaim their place among baseball's elite franchises.

An excellent candidate for the "Hall of Very Good" for sure, but I don't think HOF when I look at his career stats. He did have a 6 year stretch (74-80) that was darn good, but the rest of it is nothing special.

He is part owner of the Penguins. I thought MLB would not allow someone to move in who was an owner in another sport? Like Mark Cuban.

Not sure. Maybe MLB just doesn't want Cuban??
But a former Dodger Player being part owner would be a good thing.

Not sure if that's a rule or not. John Henry owns the Sox and an English Soccer team?

He would spend the money and bring some excitement to a team. Too many owners pocket their luxury tax and revenue shared money then cry small market. They are cheating their fans.

Something needs to be done soon. The McCourt situation isn't going to get any better anytime soon.

Not too much... long week at work, so I'm enjoying a nice quiet Saturday afternoon which will hopefully carry through the rest of the weekend.
