Dodgers Interview: Steve Garvey is Bringing Baseball Dreams to Life in Iowa — And You’re Invited
We had the honor of welcoming back a true Bleed Los Podcast favorite—Steve Garvey—for a special conversation with Alysha Del Valle. Not only is Garvey a Dodgers and Padres legend, but he’s also someone who truly understands what baseball means to people. And this summer, he’s turning that love into something unforgettable.
Garvey’s latest project? A once-in-a-lifetime Field of Dreams event happening July 31–August 1 in Dyersville, Iowa. Yes, that Field of Dreams. The cornfields. The sunset. The movie magic. All of it, real and waiting for you.
It’s Not Just an Event — It’s a Memory in the Making
Steve explained that this whole experience was created with PopFly Pop Shop, who make some of the coolest baseball artwork out there. Together, they’re giving fans something more than just an autograph or photo—they’re giving you a memory.
Here’s what you get if you’re one of the lucky 32 fans who sign up:
- A guided walk and talk around the Field of Dreams set with Steve Garvey
- A private dinner under the Iowa sunset
- The chance to walk out of the cornfields for that iconic photo
- Limited edition collectibles from PopFly Pop Shop
- And yes… a catch on the field with Garv himself
And before you ask—no, there are no games being played. Garvey made it clear: “We’re saving the hamstrings this time.”
It’s Personal for Steve
Garvey is also using this event to raise awareness for something close to his heart: prostate cancer. As chairman of Fans for the Cure, he’s launched “Catch for the Cure,” a program that turns the simple act of playing catch into a way to give back. Participants will get a signed baseball and be invited to make a donation—because for Garvey, the game has always been about more than stats. It’s about people.
The Perfect Gift for Any Baseball Fan
This event isn’t just for hardcore Dodgers or Padres fans—it’s for anyone who’s ever been moved by a baseball story, who grew up watching the game with their parents, or who still gets chills watching Field of Dreams. Garvey called it “a meaningful, warm experience,” and honestly? It sounds like something every fan should get to do once in their life.
Only 32 spots are available, and they’re already filling fast. Whether you’re thinking of a bucket list trip, a Father’s Day gift, or just need a little magic in your life—this is it.
Is Dodgers vs. Padres a Real Rivalry? Garvey Says Yes.
Before wrapping up, we had to ask the man himself: Is the Dodgers-Padres rivalry legit? His answer: “Absolutely.” Garvey’s unique perspective—having played for both teams—gave us a front-row seat into how the Padres went from underdogs to serious threats in the NL West.
From his free agency story with McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc (yes, that happened), to that walk-off homer in the ‘84 NLCS, Garvey reminded us that rivalries aren’t just about records—they’re about pride, grit, and history.
