R.I.P. Maury Wills
In 1962, broke Ty Cobb’s single season record for stolen bases. (This is a big deal!)
Multiple World Series (with L.A. Dodgers), gold gloves and all-star games.
How is Maury not in the Hall of Fame?
Good question!
Saw dozens of games a Dodger Stadium in the 60's. Whenever he got on base the level of excitement increased 10 fold, everyone knew he was going to steal a base.
He changed the way the game was played.
stolen bases originally noted with an asterisk.
better stats than HOF Rizzuto.
Wills on based always gave the defense heebie jeebies...
