Today we lost Davey Lopes, legendary Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman and coach. A four-time All-Star second baseman in his 10 years as part of the Dodgers infield of the 1970s and one of the greatest base stealers in history. He played in four World Series, winning the 1981 championship. He holds the franchise record for most games played at second base with 1,134. His 1,145 games batting leadoff are second in the organization. In 1978, Lopes had the best World Series of his career, starting with two home runs in Game 1 against the New York Yankees. He also won a Gold Glove that season. After his playing days, Lopes managed the Milwaukee Brewers from 2000-02. He coached with the Orioles, Padres, Nationals, Phillies and Dodgers. There is a Davey Lopes Recreation Center in South Providence, RI. Our deepest condolences to his family and friends.
