1964 Cy Young winner Dean Chance dies at 74

WOOSTER, Ohio -- Dean Chance, who won the 1964 Cy Young Award 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 threw a no-hitter for the Twins in August 1967. Earlier that month, he pitched a five-inning perfect game.

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 earned-run average for the Angels and won the Cy Young -- from 1956-66, only one pitcher in the majors won the award each year.
