A lot of people here are too young to remember this but Lucchesi was involved in one of the more bizarre coach-player altercations in sports history.
In 1977, Lucchesi was the manager of the Texas Rangers and they had rookie Bump Wills (son of Maury Wills) named the starting 2B over veteran Lenny Randle in spring training. When Randle complained publicly about being benched, Lucchesi was quoted as responding: "I'm sick and tired of punks making $80,000 a year moaning and groaning about their situation." A few days later, before an exhibition game against the Minnesota Twins in Orlando, Randle and Lucchesi became embroiled in an argument. Randle struck his manager, who was still clad in street clothes, knocking Lucchesi to the ground and causing his hospitalization for a concussion and broken jaw. Randle was suspended without pay for 30 days, fined an additional $10,000, then traded to the New York Mets.
Meanwhile, Lucchesi recovered from his injuries and returned to the bench, but on June 21, with the Rangers stalled at 31–31, he was fired. Randle was found guilty of assault, and Lucchesi later sued him for $200,000, blaming Randle for the loss of his job.
Nowadays, I imagine a situation like that would be handled much differently.

Apparently Leslie was a she, not a he. But I imagine when you're 654, it's a little tough to tell the gender.

Meh, these days, who can tell if you're male of female. She/he was ahead of their time.

Her and her plastic surgeon should be applauded.
I believe I read somewhere that Cooper has no claim at all to any of the Vanderbilt good fortune.
