welcome back, davey lopes


Famed basestealer Cool Papa Bell is one of my favorites. I was thrilled to see a stature honoring him at PNC Park.

It's Opening Day in Philadelphia and first base coach Davey Lopes, out last week because of the tragic loss of his brother in a fire, will be with the team for the first time this season. Condolences to Mr. Lopes and his family, but it will be good to see him back in the coach's box. It's time for the running game to get started. No doubt about it, Davey Lopes, a famed base swiper in his own right, makes it go.
