Terrible news for the Dodger family. Davey Lopes, the second baseman who anchored our historic infield from 1973 to 1981 and helped us win the 1981 World Series, has died at age 80. He rose from a tough upbringing in Rhode Island to become one of the best leadoff hitters in Dodgers history. A true legend. Rest in peace. Reported by the LA Times staff.
