About Frank Lucchesi
The Phillies named Lucchesi manager on September 26, 1969, after his Eugene club won the Pacific Coast League Southern Division. He made his debut on April 7, 1970, and the 15,918 fans stood and cheered for several minutes, reducing him to tears. Philadelphia went 73-88 and finished fifth, 10 1/2 games better than the year before, and led the majors in fewest errors. His #662 manager card sits in the seventh series and is a high number.
Frank Lucchesi spent four decades as a manager, nearly all of it in the minors. A San Francisco native, he played outfield in the lower minors from 1945 to 1957, batting .276 with 56 home runs in 1,149 games, and began managing in 1951 as player-manager of the Medford Rogues of the Class D Far West League. He joined the Phillies' system in 1956, won six pennants in 13 seasons and worked with Chris Short, Dick Allen, Fergie Jenkins and Larry Bowa on their way up. In the majors he managed the Phillies from 1970 to 1972, the Texas Rangers from 1975 to 1977 and the Cubs on an interim basis in 1987, finishing 316-399 overall. In spring training 1977 Rangers second baseman Lenny Randle struck him, leaving him with a concussion and a broken jaw; the Rangers fired him on June 21 at 31-31. In 1963, ejected while managing Triple-A Arkansas, he climbed a light tower to watch and, afraid of heights, was too scared to move when the umpire ordered him down. He died in Colleyville, Texas, on June 8, 2019.
