ARLINGTON, Tex. — Manager
Frank Lucchesi, just like his youth
ful, brash Texas Rangers, is coming
out kicking in the American League
West — literally.
The Rangers’ manager, who is
starting his first full season at the
helm of the surprising team, was so
displeased with an umpire’s decision
Wednesday night that he booted his
cap from second base to the pitcher’s
mound. He got the gate and a stand
ing ovation from the 22,000 fans on
hand to watch a 4-2 victory over Oak
land.
the race to the end,” said no less an
authority than Gaylord Perry, the
37-year-old pitching catalyst of the
young Rangers staff. “You’ve got to
go with Oakland, but I sure like not
pitching to Reggie Jackson.’’
Jackson was traded to Baltimore
and has yet to report, and Lucchesi
said, “Losing Jackson will make a dif
ference in the play of any club. Our
team has a lot of respect for him. We
have a lot of confidence when we
play Oakland now.”
was going on. That helped us to get
out of the gate.”
“Lucchesi was chastised by the AL
office for speeding past an im
promptu practice in Florida in a 1958
Plymouth and hurling cartons of
brand new baseballs out the window
for his pitchers to practice with.
The mission paid off because Luc
chesi has received two complete
games from Perry, one from Jim
Umbarger and one each from Nelson
Briles and Steve Barr.

The unheralded Ranger, 5-1 and
leaders in the AL West, have been
getting a lot of standing ovations
lately for their hustle and fire.
Their recent three-game sweep
over Oakland was a case in point.
Texas booted the ball 11 times, but
beat the A’s with excellent pitching
and good hitting.
“We keep making our breaks and
if we keep doing that we will be in
The feisty Lucchesi, who replaced
fired Billy Martin last year, said the
Rangers are definitely for real, but
refused to predict they will over
come Oakland and Kansas City, the
powers in the AL West.
When he kept Briles and Barr in
the starting rotation, Lucchesi re
ceived what he called “heat” from
the local press. But now Lucchesi is
all smiles and pulling off his crowd
pleasing antics.
The two men who signed are
Steve Sylestine and John Schlicher.
Each man is an all-state guard and

“I never predict, but this is the

has created its own togetherness.

Last year, Lucchesi got on his
knees and buried home plate in dirt
when he was displeased with an um
pire’s decision. He is having more
fun now that his team, a blend of
youngsters with an anchor like Perry
on the mound, is winning. In 1975,
all they had was a lot of fun and lost.
