Dean Chance

I just read that Angels Great Dean Chance passed away yesterday.

He was drafted by the Senators in the 1960 A.L. Expansion Draft but was quickly traded to the new Angels for Joe Hicks.

He went on to have a great career with the Angels (1961-1966) and won the Cy Young award for them in 1964.

Some Additions to the Collection

There's a lot of cheap stuff to be had on ebay. A lot of cool stuff for team collectors like me.

Here's some cheap and cool Angels stuff I've picked up recently on ebay.

A 1962 Ticket stub from and Angels/Yankees game at Chavez Ravine (Dodger Stadium).  Yankees beat the Angels 4-3 on a 2-run Yogi Berra home run off Dan Osinski in the 8th inning.  Leon Wagner drove in all the Angels runs by hitting his 30th home run of the season, a 3-run shot in the first inning off Whitey Ford.

1976 Hostess #79 Nolan Ryan.  Badly cut but still a nice little Ryan Angels card.

This one's a beauty.  A 1978 Kellogg's #51 Nolan Ryan.

Another Kellogg's I picked up is this 1980 version #20.

And a sharp 1965 Topps #11 Strikeout Leaders which includes the Angels Dean Chance. Dean was third in the AL in 1964 with 208 strikeouts.
