Ex-Dodger star Lavagetto dies
San Francisco Examiner, August 11, 1990
Cookie Lavagetto was one of Casey Stengel's coaches during the 1962 and 1963 seasons. His place in Mets lore is as part of a Marv Throneberry anecdote, where he tells his manager, "Don’t bother arguing Casey, he missed first base too.”
