Albert Lee Stange (October 27, 1936 – September 21, 2018)[1][2] was an American professional baseball player and coach.

[3] He attended Proviso Township High School, in Maywood, Illinois, then Drake University on a football scholarship, but a knee injury led to him playing baseball instead.

In 1960, he won 20 games in the Class B Carolina League, and in 1961 he was promoted all the way to the majors as a member of the inaugural edition of the Twins, who had just moved to Minneapolis–Saint Paul from Washington.

On September 15, he earned his first MLB victory by throwing two scoreless rinnings in relief of Jack Kralick against the Indians.

In 1967, he was 8–10 (2.77) for the pennant-winning "Impossible Dream" Red Sox,[4] and pitched two scoreless innings in 1967 World Series Game 3 (October 7, 1967).
