"Monty (Basgall) wore the Dodger uniform with pride, dignity and character. He signed his first professional contract with the Dodgers, but played most of his career with the Pirates. However, he served many different roles in the Dodger organization. He was a scout, a minor league instructor, a major league instructor and my bench coach; he was my right-hand man. His tremendous knowledge of the game was a true help to me, and I will be forever thankful for his help in the dugout." - Hall of Fame Manager Tommy Lasorda on Tommy Lasorda's World (MLBlogs, 09/27/2005)
