Chuck Finley was the Angels ace for the late 80s and through the most of the 90s. His career stats compare favorably to several Hall of Famers, and he is one of my all time favorite Angels. I had the chance to speak with him recently and here's a transcript of how that talk went.
I’m not going to try to hide the fact you are one of my favorite Angels of all time. Thanks for taking the time to do the interview, I really appreciate it.
Really? Thanks. You know nowadays when I go out to dinner or something I see a lot of guys say "my dad took me to watch you play when I was 4" and now they’re handing me a beer or bringing me dinner.
