All-Decade pitchers (1958-1967)

Jay has the latest post in his series of All-Decade Teams. This one is the 1958-1967 pitchers.

You'll have to click the link for the story about those pitchers, but here are the names for you:

Lee Stange
Dean Chance
Dave McNally
Eddie Watt
Jim Ray (who has the best major league uni of any of these guys)
Sparky Lyle

The Manager of the all-decade team for 1958-1967. Earl Weaver.

This week's special mention is Fred Rath of the 1966 Fox Cities Foxes. Why, Fred Rath?
Rath, a 4th round draft choice of the White Sox in 1965, only pitched 23 innings in the Majors, but had a memorable season with the Fox Cities Foxes in 1966. Not only did he go 17-3 on the mound in leading the Foxes to the Midwest League Championship, he also met Joan Koenig, the 1966 Miss Fox Cities Foxes, whom he married the following year.
That's why Fred Rath.
