DAVEY LOPES

He was thought to be on the descent of his career when the Cubs acquired late in 1984 to provide bench help during the pennant run, but the following season Lopes proved he still had quite a bit left in the tank.

At the age of 40, he switched positions and learned to play outfield. When Cubs regulars like Bobby Denier were hurt, Lopes filled in. He took advantage of this second chance and stole 46 bases during the 1985 season. Davey was traded the following year for Frank DiPino, and helped the Astros make the post season too. He retired after the 1987 season with more than 550 career stolen bases.

His career numbers may have fallen just short of Hall of Fame material, but his thick, luscious, bushy mustache is clearly a charter member of the Mustache Hall of Fame.
