So he called on Chris, the man who constructed and groomed his distinctive delivery, and their work ensued throughout the state of Arizona.

By May 20, the two-time National League Cy Young Award winner, three-time World Series champion and four-time All-Star had signed a pro-rated, incentive-laden $2.5 million contract with the Angels.
