Monty Basgall Autographs
Romanus "Monty" Basgall (February 8, 1922 – September 22, 2005) was an American professional baseball player, manager, coach and scout. A former second baseman who appeared in 200 Major League Baseball games for the Pittsburgh Pirates (1948–49; 1951), Basgall became a longtime member of the Los Angeles Dodgers' organization who served as the bench and infield coach for Hall of Fame managers Walter Alston and Tommy Lasorda for 14 seasons (1973–86). During that time, he worked with four National League pennant winners (1974, 1977, 1978 and 1981), as well as the 1981 World Series-champion Dodgers. Basgall was born in Pfeifer, Kansas, graduated from high school there, and attended Sterling College.
Basgall stood 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m) tall, weighed 175 pounds (79 kg) and threw and batted right-handed. He signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1942, the first year of the United States' involvement in World War II. After one season in the minors, he served in the Army for three years before resuming his baseball career in 1946 with the Double-A Fort Worth Cats of the Texas League.
In December 1947, the Dodgers traded Basgall to the Pirates, where he played one full season (1949) and parts of two others (1948 and 1951). In 1949, he was the Pirates' starting second baseman for 98 of the club's 154 games. But Basgall's MLB playing career was hampered by poor offensive production; he batted only .216, .218 and .209 in his three years in the majors, with 110 total hits, which included 15 doubles, three triples and four home runs. He was credited with 41 runs batted in.
