08: Dean Chance

Dean Chance pitched for the then Los Angeles Angels in the early 1960s. The Angels were a so-so team, but in 1964, Dean turned in one of the most dominant seasons in Angels history. He went 20-9 with a 1.65 ERA for a team that went just 82-80. But that was only half the story. Dean won the Cy Young Award that year to interrupt Sandy Koufax’s string of three Cy Young’s in four years. Denny McLain, the last man to win 30 games in a single year and a 2-time Cy Young Award winner joins the podcast to talk about Dean’s career on the diamond … while boxing Hall of Famers Bill Caplan and Don Chargin join the podcast to talk about Dean’s love for boxing and the fact that Dean created the International Boxing Association.
