1977 Topps Baseball #180 - Dave Lopes

• It's interesting how Mr. Lopes signs his name "Davey" and yet Topps always put "Dave Lopes" on his cards.
• Davey Lopes had some pretty solid years in the mid to late 1970s. He was overshadowed by Joe Morgan, but once Morgan started to slow down Davey started getting All-Star nods.
• 1977 Stats: 
• Regular season: .283, 11 HR, 53 RBI, 47 stolen bases
• NL Championship Series: .235 (4 for 17) in four games
• World Series: .167 (4 for 24) in six games
• 1977 Highlights:
• July 24 - Hit a game-winning 3-run homer in the bottom of the 9th inning as the Dodgers beat the New York Mets 5-3.
• Sept 16 - Singled in the game-winning run with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th inning. The Dodgers won the game 3-2 and their magic number for clinching the NL West was reduced to 3.
• Oct 7 - Hit an infield single that scored Manny  Mota with the tying run in Game 3 of the NL Championship Series. Lopes later scored the winning run on a single by Bill Russell. The hit was disputed by the Phillies, but the call stood.
