One time he definitely was hurt was while he was managing the Indians in a game against the Oakland A's. Corrales took umbrage at A's pitcher Dave Stewart and charged the pitcher on the mound. When he arrived, Stewart quickly decked him with one punch, and if memory serves, sent him to an ER with a concussion. Pat was kind of a hothead, I guess. I recall that when he managed the Phils he once benched Mike Schmidt, and while with the Reds, he benched Pete Rose.
