Much-beloved Davey Lopes has played, coach, or managed in the majors since 1972. The speedster stole 557 bases in 671 career attempts (an 83% success rate!) and once swiped 38 straight without getting caught. A four-time All Star and one-time Gold Glove winner, Lopes played in 4 World Series, racking up 3 HRs in the '78 losing effort and stealing 4 bases in the '81 triumph. In 1974, he set a Dodgers record with 15 total bases—3 homers, a double and a single. Throughout the 1990s and up through the present day, Lopes has been a devoted coach in Baltimore, San Diego, Washington, Philly and LA, as well as manager in Milwaukee (2000-2002). These championship rings and other items in the Davey Lopes collection come with his signed LOAs.

As the Phils' first-base coach and outfield/base running instructor (2007-2010), Lopes not only guided his players to MLB's best stolen-base percentage four years in a row, but also helped them to the highest success rate in league history in 2007—87.9%, or 138 steals in 157 attempts. Offered is his hefty, 14K-white-gold woman's pendant engraved on the reverse, "OCTOBER 29, 2008." The dazzling, diamond-encrusted array measures 1-1/8" x 1-1/4" and features the raised "P" logo. Near Mint condition. It comes with the lovely, original "PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES 2008 WORLD CHAMPIONS" wooden presentation box (6" x 7-3/4" x 3") as well as Lopes' signed LOA reading, "This is my one and only original 2008 woman's pendant that I got while I was a coach with the Philadelphia Phillies that year. We won the World Series beating the Tampa Bay Rays."
