  • Albert Lee Stange (born October 27, 1936, in Chicago, Illinois) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher. The right-hander was signed by the Washington Senators as an amateur free agent before the 1957 season. He played for the Minnesota Twins (1961-1964), Cleveland Indians (1964-1966), Boston Red Sox (1966-1970), and Chicago White Sox (1970). The majority of his 359 appearances were as a relief pitcher, but he did start 125 games. His best season was 1963 when he was 12-5 and finished sixth in the American League in earned run average (2.62) and fifth in winning percentage (.705). Another great season was 1967 when he was 8-10, 2.77 for the pennant-winning "Impossible Dream" Red Sox, and pitched two scoreless innings in World Series Game # 3 (October 7, 1967). He finished his career with a total of 62 wins, 61 losses, 32 complete games, 8 shutouts, 21 saves, 77 games finished, 718 strikeouts and only 344 walks in 1216 innings pitched, and an ERA of 3.56. One of Lee Stange's unknown accomplishments occurred in 1963 with the Triple AAA minor league Dallas Rangers. Lee won seven consecutive games and the Rangers were feeling they had a chance at a champion year. But, the Minnesota Twins called up Stange and that championship never happened. The late owner Ray Johnston always said if Stange had stayed they very well could have been a winner. Stange was later a pitching coach for the Boston Red Sox (1972-74, 1981-84), Minnesota Twins (1975), and Oakland Athletics (1977-1979). He was a roving minor league pitching instructor in the Red Sox farm system in 1971, 1980 and 1985-94, and managed Oakland's Triple-A Tucson Toros farm club in 1976.
