Quotes

...ex-Twin pitcher Dean Chance (and his carousing buddy, Bo Belinsky, when they were with the Angels) will enjoy an AP profile of the 71 year-old : "Chance, perhaps the greatest high school pitcher ever, went on to win the 1964 Cy Young Award. For most people, that's enough. But he's also been a farm kid, playboy, card sharp, carny showman and a boxing administrator. Pushing 71 years old, the former two-time 20-game winner — one with the Minnesota Twins — still is bringing the heat. His No. 1 gift might be telling stories. He has an anecdote for every thread of his colorful, adventurous life, some built around or mentioning the iconic names of another time: Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Howard Cosell, Eddie Fisher, Joe DiMaggio, Walt Disney, Gene Autry and Muhammad Ali. It's a sunny spring day, and Chance is asked about a picture hanging among maybe a hundred others in the ranch-style farm house his parents built a few miles outside of the leafy college town of Wooster, Ohio. There is Chance, in his early 20s, and his best buddy, part-time pitcher and full-time party animal Bo Belinsky, flanking none other than J Edgar Hoover.”"
