Davey Lopes made his Major League debut with Los Angeles in 1972 and won the starting job at Second Base the following year.  

Lopes utilized his speed not only in the field but on the basepaths, where he led the National League in Stolen Bases in 1975 (77) and 1976 (63) and had a seven-year run where he swiped at least 20 bags (1973-79).  A natural leader in the clubhouse, Lopes developed a more complete game, developing a power game, peaking with an unexpected 28 Home Run year in 1979.  An All-Star annually from 1978 to 1981, Lopes helped the Dodgers win the World Series in the last of those years, coincidentally his previous in L.A., as he was traded north to Oakland.

With the Dodgers, Lopes batted .262 with 1,204 Hits and 418 Stolen Bases.

Lopes parlayed his leadership skill into a successful career as a Coach, winning a second World Series Ring with the Phillies in 2008.

Davey Lopes made his first appearance in the Majors with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1972, where the Second Baseman would quietly showcase himself as one of the better infielders of the decade. 

Lopes and the Dodgers were a team on the rise, and he helped them reach the Fall Classic twice in the 70s.  From 1973 to 1979, the speedster had at least 36 Stolen Bases, leading the National League in that statistic in '75 and '76.  In 1978, Lopes was named to the All-Star Team and would be again the next three seasons.  While Lopes was not considered a power hitter, he had 28 Home Runs in 1979, with seven other 10-plus-year seasons.  The culmination of that four-year run of All-Stars saw Lopes help Los Angeles win the 1981 World Series.

After the '81 World Series win, he entered journeyman status, was traded to Oakland, and later played for the Cubs and Houston before retiring in 1987.  Lopes left the game with 1,671 Hits, 155 Home Runs, and 557 Stolen Bases.

Lopes would later become a successful Coach, winning a World Series Ring with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2008.
