Former Phillies and Rangers Manager Frank Lucchesi Dies at Age 92

Former Philadelphia Phillies and Texas Rangers manager Frank Lucchesi died Saturday at the age of 92.

The Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com) reported the news.

Lucchesi was a longtime minor league manager before the Phillies hired him in 1970. He coached the National League team into the 1972 campaign and finished with a 166-233 record before the Rangers hired him to take over for the fired Billy Martin in 1975.

He was fired in 1977 and finished with a 142-149 record during a Rangers tenure that is best remembered for an incident with second baseman Lenny Randle.
