Dodgers News: Davey Lopes Announces Retirement From Baseball

The Los Angeles Dodgers organization has been home to some great players throughout their history, including the likes of Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Roy Campanella, Steve Garvey, Mike Piazza and Clayton Kershaw, to name a few.

One player who often gets overlooked is second baseman Davey Lopes, who began his career with the Dodgers in 1972 and remained with the organization for 10 years.

After concluding his 16-year big league career, Lopes made the transition to a role in coaching, even spending some time as a first-base coach in the Dodgers organization from 2011-15 under former manager Don Mattingly.
