Frank Lucchesi spent more than 40 years in organized baseball — as a player, coach and manager. On three occasions, he managed Major League Baseball (MLB) teams: the Philadelphia Phillies (1970-1972), the Texas Rangers (1975-1977) and the Chicago Cubs (1987).

Both at the major and minor league levels, Lucchesi was one of the game’s most respected minds. When he retired from coaching, Lucchesi chose to make his home in Tarrant County. He spent the last quarter century of his life in Colleyville in a home he purchased for his family near Little Bear Creek.
