For eleven years Don and Steve
played for the L.A. Dodgers, but these teammates had a distaste
for each other. Don told the Washington Post about what he thought
of Steve. “All you hear about our team is Steve Garvey the
All-American boy. But Reggie Smith was the real MVP. We all know
it…” He also called Steve’s image a fake. Of
course Steve was not to pleased. In the locker room, Steve asked
Don if what he told the newspaper was true. Don admitted it, and
Steve went after him and a fight began. The fight was witnessed
by other teammates. The teammates described the fight, saying
the two “went down heavily and were clawing at one another.”
They were also trying to punch each other, but neither could land
any good ones. They were finally separated, with Steve having
cuts and scratches on his face and Don with a bruise on his cheek.
