Chance Caple is the subject of this edition of “What ever happened to…”
Chance was born in Plano , TX
on August 9, 1978 and attended Texas
A&M University
Chance was a 240 lb 6’6” righty hurler. Chance started with the NY Penn League New Jersey Cardinals in 1999. With the NJ Cards (A-) he went 0-4 in 7 starts
with an ERA of 4.38, 36 Ks, 35 hits, 18 Earned Runs, and 18 Walks. In 2000 he
was promoted to the A+ Potomac Birds, and then he missed the entire 2001 season
due to an injury. In 2002 he was sent to Peoria Chiefs (A) and finished his
Cardinals career with the Palm Beach
In his 5 years in the Cardinals’ system his record stood at 11
wins, 20 loses, winning % of .355, 4.36 ERA, 139 earned runs, and 136 walks in 57
games and 287 innings. I assume he was released because of this performance.
The only post-Cardinals information I can gather on Chance is that he went to University
of North Texas from 2004-2006 and majored in finance then becoming a pharmaceutical
rep for various companies and according to his Linked in profile he is Strategic
Client Executive at Cerner Corporation in Dallas (where I will be soon). So it
looks like he went on to become very successful. I have many of his cards and now know where he
is. Who knows if he Googles himself he may come across this.
