MURRIETA, Calif. -- Lenny Randle, a big league player for 12 seasons who spoke five languages, performed stand-up comedy, was dubbed "The Most Interesting Man in Baseball" and was suspended for punching his Texas Rangers manager, has died. He was 75.
Randle died Sunday at his home in Murrieta, California, one of his sons, Bradley, said Tuesday. Bradley said Randle's wife, Linda, asked that the cause of death not be publicly disclosed.
Randle helped Arizona State win the 1969 College World Series, and he also played football for the school. He was selected 10th overall by Washington in the secondary phase of the 1970 amateur draft and made his debut for the Senators on June 16, 1971.
