Joseph Albert Vance (September 16, 1905 – July 4, 1978) was a Major League Baseball pitcher. He pitched parts of three seasons in the majors between 1935 and 1938 for the Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees.
Vance also played 11 games for the football Brooklyn Dodgers in 1931 as a running back.[1] Speaking in 1943, pitcher Max Macon of the baseball Dodgers, against whom Vance had competed in both the American Association and International League,[2][3] called his former mound opponent the fastest man he'd ever seen.[4]
