Steve Garvey interested in buying the Dodgers

The ex-first baseman with the checkered financial record said he has assembled a group of three to five investors from the business and entertainment communities, all "deeply rooted in Southern California." They already made two overtures to Frank McCourt that were ignored or rejected, says Bill Shaikin in the L.A. Times. The story lists other possible Dodgers suitors, but McCourt spokesman Steve Sugerman says: "There are some great treasures out there that people would love to buy, the Dodgers among them. But, like the Mona Lisa and the Pacific Ocean, the Dodgers aren't for sale." Meanwhile, Jamie McCourt's latest spokesman is Mark Fabiani, the former City Hall staffer who also has surfaced as counsel to the San Diego Chargers, the NFL team linked to Phil Anschutz. And don't all the interlocking pieces get interesting when it comes to sports teams and stadiums?
