Steve Garvey to headline Chihuahuas Championship Dinner
The Chihuahuas Foundation is hosting yet another Chihuahuas Championship Dinner, their annual pre-season event, presented by KVIA and Townsquare Media.
The festivities take place on Wednesday, April 5th at the Judson F. Williams Convention Center with special guest Steve Garvey, former Major League Baseball All-star for the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres.
The event will be a celebration of the Chihuahuas 2016 Pacific Coast League (PCL) Championship as well as the first opportunity to meet the 2017 team, coaches and staff. The cocktail hour will begin at 6:00 p.m. followed by dinner, a sit down interview with Chihuahuas manager, Rod Barajas, Garvey and Chihuahuas broadcaster, Tim Hagerty, and a live auction.
“We are honored to celebrate our 2016 PCL Championship with our fans and special guest Steve Garvey. This will also serve as a fun start to the 2017 season,” said Brad Taylor, Chihuahuas General Manager.
Steve Garvey is a 10-time MLB All-Star and a four-time Gold Glove winner. He holds the record for the highest career fielding percentage by a first baseman and is the only player in the history of baseball to have an errorless season at first base.
On April 18, 1988 his jersey no. 6 was retired by the San Diego Padres. In a 19-year career, Garvey was a .294 hitter with 272 home runs and 1,308 RBI in 2,332 games played.
