Davey Lopes, 80

Four-time MLB All-Star Davey Lopes died of complications from Parkinson’s disease on April 8 at the age of 80.

Lopes made four All-Star teams with the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1978 to 1981. He was also part of their 1981 World Series team.

Lopes’ last job in baseball was as a first base coach for the Washington Nationals in 2016 and 2017. After 2017, he announced his retirement from baseball. He largely left the public eye. The Dodgers were not aware of Lopes having Parkinson’s disease until his wife Lin called them to inform them of her husband’s death. He died in a hospital in his hometown of East Providence, Rhode Island.
