Two Frank Luchessi stories. Luchessi was the former manager of the Texas Rangers, and had quite a temper.

Incident #1 - After a long day of getting frustrated by a plate umpires calls, Frank comes unglued. He runs to the plate and gets tossed, then after the umpire brushes the plate, Frank kicks dirt on it, kneels down and forms the dirt into a nice pile, and then STOMPS on it...

Incident #2 - Frank goes nutz after A's pitcher Dave Stewart beans one of his batters. Frank charges Dave and immediately gets kicked and punched to the ground.. Poor Frank.
