An Iconic Player’s Legacy
Davey Lopes, a name synonymous with excellence in Major League Baseball, boasts an illustrious career adorned with numerous accolades. As a 4-time MLB All-Star, a 1978 Gold Glove Awardee, and a 2-time National League Stolen Base Leader, Lopes has left an indelible mark on the sport. His achievements extend beyond his playing days, having clinched the World Series title twice—once as a player with the Dodgers in 1981 and again as a coach with the Phillies in 2008.
