Dean Chance, 1964 Cy Young Award winner and former Cleveland Indian, dies at age 74

WOOSTER, Ohio — Former Cleveland Indian Dean Chance, who won the 1964 Cy Young Award for the Angels and later pitched a no-hitter, died Sunday. He was 74.

The funeral home handling the arrangements near where he lived in Ohio confirmed Chance died. There were no details on the cause of death.

Chance died two months after being at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif., for his induction into the Angels Hall of Fame.

In 1964, Chance went 20-9 with a 1.65 ERA for the Angels and won the Cy Young — from 1956-66, only one pitcher in the majors won the award each year.
