Lloyd "Pepper" Bassett (August 5, 1910 – December 28, 1980) was an American baseball catcher in the Negro leagues and the Mexican League. He played professionally from 1934 to 1954, playing mainly with the Birmingham Black Barons; he was All-Star seven times.[citation needed]

Bassett was 15 years old when began his career in 1934 with the minor league New Orleans Crescent Stars; while playing for New Orleans, he suggested to the team owner that as a stunt to draw a larger audience, he should catch some games while sitting in a rocking chair; the stunt was a success, and he would occasionally resort to that stunt throughout his career.[citation needed]

During the 1944 Negro World Series, Bassett was injured in a car accident, along with Tommy Sampson, John Britton, and Leandy Young.[3]
