...has just confirmed that he and his previous girlfriend became parents in November. Orszag, who has two children from his first marriage, just announced after Christmas that he had become engaged to a third woman. (I know what you're thinking: Are you talking about that nerdy-looking guy with the bad toupee? Yep. Hey, maybe even bean counters are considered sex symbols in Washington.)
It reminds me a little of Steve Garvey. Remember him? Cub fans do. He was the star first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres back in the 1970s and '80s. I noticed that Garvey was inducted into the Irish American Baseball Hall of Fame recently. (Again, I know what you're thinking: that must be a very small building! It's actually inside Foley's NY Pub & Restaurant on W. 33rd St. in New York City. I am not making this up.)
Garvey's nickname was "Mr. Clean" because of his squeaky-clean image. (Remind you of any famous athlete in the news today?) A devout Catholic and Republican (of course), Garvey once considered a bid for the U. S. Senate from California. His plans were derailed, however, when his ex-wife Cyndy wrote a tell-all book in which she described his extra-marital affairs. It didn't help matters when two other women came forward with paternity suits against him shortly after he was remarried.
While Garvey's story is a good one (he ended up fathering a total of nine children by four different women), it's not even that impressive when compared to other athletes. NFLer Travis Henry had 9 kids by 9 women by age 28 and NBAer Calvin Murphy had 14 illegitimate kids by 9 women.
Orszag, looks like you got your work cut out for you.
