Former Los Angeles Dodger Steve Sax has decided not to take a swing at politics.
The major leaguer dropped his bid for a seat in the state Legislature on Friday, saying he wanted to spend more time with his family."I truly believe it is in the best interest of my two young children," said Sax, 36.
Sax, a Republican, entered the race in April for the seat held by GOP assemblyman David Knowles, who cannot run for re-election because of term limits.
