About Bill Stoneman
William Hambly Stoneman III (born April 7, 1944) is an American former professional baseball player and executive who, during his eight-year (1967–1974) pitching career in Major League Baseball, threw two no-hitters; then, as general manager of the Anaheim Angels (1999–2007), presided over the franchise's first-ever World Series championship in 2002. He later served briefly as the Angels' interim general manager from July 1 to October 4 of 2015. == Early years == Born in Oak Park, Illinois, Stoneman graduated from West Covina High School in southern California in 1962. A right-handed pitcher, he spent a year at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, then transferred to the University of Idaho in Moscow to play college baseball, and helped the Vandals win the inaugural Big Sky title in 1964 as a sophomore. When Stoneman was a junior, the Vandals were 17–13 and he was 5–3 with a 1.80 earned run average (ERA) and averaged 1.5 strikeouts per inning. As a senior in 1966, Stoneman was 6–2 with a 0.45 ERA in the regular season, and Idaho won the Big Sky again with a 31–7 (.816) record in the regular season. Invited to the NCAA playoffs for the first time, they eliminated Colorado State College (now Northern Colorado) and Air Force on the road in Greeley, Colorado. The Vandals were one step from the College World Series in Omaha, but lost to Arizona in Tucson in the District 7 finals, today's "Super-Regionals" (Sweet 16). Idaho ended their best-ever season at 34–9 (.791).
