Dodgers Legend Davey Lopes Passes Away at 80

CONFIRMED

Devastating news for the Dodger family. Davey Lopes, our legendary second baseman and part of that iconic infield from 1973-1981, has died at age 80. He rose from a tough upbringing in Rhode Island to become one of the greatest leadoff hitters we ever had and a 1981 World Series champion. The man could flat-out play and he could flat-out steal bases. Rest in peace, Davey. As reported by the LA Times staff.
