Héctor Headley López Swainson was a Panamanian professional baseball left fielder and third baseman who played in Major League Baseball for the Kansas City Athletics and New York Yankees from 1955 to 1966. He was also known for his hustle, his clutch hitting, and poor fielding.
López was the second Panamanian-born major league baseball player and continued to be one of the country’s most revered world champion athletes. He was an infielder for the Athletics, and later was often the third outfielder on the Roger Maris/Mickey Mantle Yankees of the early and mid-1960s.
The utility player divided his career almost equally between infield and outfield positions. After retiring from baseball, he went on to become a groundbreaking manager in minor league baseball as the first to break the baseball colour line as a black manager at the Triple-A level for the Buffalo Bisons and then served in various international managerial and coaching positions.
