- Dave Chalk was the starting 3B for the California Angels for a few years in the mid 1970s, but his lack of power was a liability. The Angels were ready to contend in the late 1970s and Dave was phased out.
- 1977 was probably Chalk's best season. He had career highs in games, doubles, batting average, hits, and stolen bases.
- 1977 Stats: .277, 3 HR, 45 RBI, 27 doubles in 149 games
- 1977 Highlights:
- Aug 13 - Scored the winning run as the Angels beat the New York Yankees 6-5 in 12 innings.
- Sept 3 - In the top of the 9th inning Chalk doubled, was sacrificed to third, and scored on Andy Etchebarren's sacrifice fly. The run was the eventual winning run -- the Angels beat the Cleveland Indians 3-2.
