Al Lopez Guestbook

TAMPA - He set the standard for local baseball excellence before Lou Piniella and Tony La Russa. Before Steve Garvey and Wade Boggs. Before Dwight Gooden and Tino Martinez.
Long before Tampa became renowned for launching the careers of so many major-league ballplayers, Al Lopez was the name synonymous with baseball in this area. When he died on Oct. 30, 2005, at age 97, the Bay area lost a legend.
