Ron Cey recalls one of his best MLB games, where a suggestion from teammate Davey Lopes transformed his performance during Game 2 of the 1974 National League Championship Series. Struggling with his swing, Cey switched to Lopes’ lighter bat, resulting in a 4-for-5 performance that contributed to the Dodgers’ victory. Lopes, who passed away at 80, was celebrated for his impressive career stats and as a key member of the Dodgers’ legendary infield from 1973 to 1981, helping secure four NL pennants and a World Series title. Cey fondly remembers their enduring friendship and the unique legacy they shared in Dodger history.
