AP Source: Dodgers Fire Steve Garvey After 30 Years
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A person familiar with the situation says the Los Angeles Dodgers have fired Steve Garvey for his attempts to buy the team that he helped to the 1981 World Series title.
The person, who wasn't authorized to speak publicly on personnel matters and talked to The Associated Press on Friday night on condition of anonymity, says Garvey is no longer with the team, ending a 30-year tenure in the organization.
Garvey worked in marketing and community relations, making numerous public appearances on behalf of the team and its sponsors.
Yahoo! Sports first reported the firing on Friday.
Garvey didn't immediately return a call from the AP.
