In 1976, Frank Tanana finished the year with a 2.43 earned run average (ERA). Why mention this here? When Finley posted a 2.40 ERA in 1990, he broke the single season Angels' record for lowest ERA by a lefty set by Tanana, and recorded the second lowest in franchise history (Dean Chance | 1.65 ERA | 1964 Angels]!

Chuck Finley Video | Four Strikeouts in an Inning | 12 May 1999

Did you know that a pitcher can collect four strikeouts in an inning? It's a rare baseball feat, and details about how it can happen have been preserved on Baseball Almanac since April 16, 2000 — the day Chuck Finley struck out four batters in the third inning [video below]. What's incredibly amazing is Finley already had a four-k frame, on August 15, 1999, and August 15, 1999 [video above], the first pitcher in baseball history with more than one 4k inning during their career!
