1959 Back-O'-The-Card: Hector Lopez

"Hector's hustle and ability have won him great popularity in Kansas City. He had the second best batting average on the A's in 1955. Hector was also chosen for the All-Star Rookie Team."

-1956 Topps No. 16

"Hector scored more runs than any other Athletic in 1956. He also led his mates in doubles and placed second in home runs. A real hustler, Hec was called on to play 20 games in the outfield.

After breaking in in 1951, Hector led the Provincial League in runs in '52 and the following year topped the Eastern League in fielding."

-1957 Topps No. 6

"Hector enjoyed his best year in 1957 and came close to breaking through the .300 barrier. He joined the A's in 1955 after four seasons in the minors including stops in St. Hyacinthe, Williamsport, Ottawa and Columbus.

Hec can also play fine defensive ball as an outfielder. He was a track star in his native Panama."

-1958 Topps No. 155

"Hector was a busy guy around the A's infield last year. He played 55 games at third base and 96 at second. He has played every position except pitcher and catcher.
Pitchers know that Hec is one of the toughest men to fool at the plate, and registering a strikeout is a major victory."
