STAMFORD Former Major League Baseball manager Bobby Valentine on Thursday said he is considering running for mayor but it doesn’t appear that the Stamford native has come to a final decision about launching a campaign just yet.
“It is an election year for some of the situations in our city, in our state and I have given it consideration, and I’m still considering it. Let me put it that way,” Valentine said Thursday as he spoke during a virtual Senior Men’s Association of Stamford meeting. “Yeah, I’m kind of considering it. It’s a crazy thought, and anytime I say it to someone, they say, ‘Why the hell would you do that?’ And I’m working on the answer.”
