  • Field Staff Omar Lopez Manager
    FIELD STAFF OMAR LOPEZ MANAGER Omar Lopez begins his first season as Corpus Christi’s field chief in 2018. Lopez, the seventh skipper in the 14-year history of the Hooks, enters his 20th campaign with the Astros organization. Last season, Lopez, 41, guided the Advanced A Buies Creek Astros to a 74-65 record, which topped the Carolina League Southern Division. Four Astros earned all-star honors, including outfielder Myles Straw who was placed on the mid-and-postseason squads.

The Solar Sox, outfitted with farmhands from the Astros, A’s, Cubs, Nationals and Tigers organizations, lost to Peoria in the AFL championship game. Lopez has won two Venezuelan Professional Baseball League championships in four years as manager of Caribes de Anzoategui. Caribes claimed the crown this winter, defeating Cardinales de Lara, 4-2, in the title series. In his first year as skipper, Lopez was named 2014-15 LVBP Manager of the Year after piloting Anzoategui to a 39-24 record and circuit title. His other managerial stops include Class A Quad Cities (2013-14, 2016), Advanced A Lancaster (2015), Rookie Level Greeneville (2011-12), Gulf Coast League (2009-10) and Venezuelan Summer League (2007-08).

  • Arizona's Spectacular Sports
    Arizona’s Spectacular Sports From football to auto racing, Arizona is a sports playground Looking for a sports lover’s dream? You’d be hard-pressed to find a better location than Arizona, regular-season home to four major league teams, Spring Training baseball, record-breaking professional golf tournaments, three college football bowl games, four major NCAA universities, the 2015 Super Bowl, the 2015 NFL Pro Bowl, the 2016 College Football Playoff Championship Game and the 2017 NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four. Arizona continues to prove itself as a sports destination and has been named as the chosen location for the 2023 Super Bowl and the 2024 Final Four. The Big Four When the Arizona Diamondbacks arrived on the scene in 1998, Phoenix joined the exclusive club of U.S. metropolitan areas with professional baseball, basketball, football and hockey franchises. Currently, there are just 13 such communities in America that can make that claim. Baseball Arizona fans fell in love with the National League’s Arizona Diamondbacks right off the bat, and the team’s 2001 World Series win over the New York Yankees still ranks as the most significant professional sports victory in state history. The D-backs’ downtown Phoenix stadium, Chase Field, has become a visitor attraction in itself. Basketball Arizona’s original major league franchise, the Phoenix Suns, started playing in the NBA in 1969 at Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Today, the Suns play at Talking Stick Sports Arena in downtown Phoenix. Football The nation's oldest continuously run NFL franchise (it got its start in 1898 as Morgan Athletic Club in Chicago) – the Arizona Cardinals began playing in Glendale’s State Farm Stadium, (formerly University of Phoenix Stadium) in 2006 after playing for nearly 20 years at Arizona State University’s Sun Devil Stadium when the franchise relocated from St.
