American League umpiring supervisor Dick Butler likened Wills' actions to setting the bases 88 feet apart instead of 90 feet.[14]. Mostly, though, he played second base, then third, and finally a lot at shortstop. With rumors of discontent running rife during spring training in 1981, he was picked by Sports Illustrated as the manager most-likely to be fired in its season-preview issue, and made that prediction a reality by leading the team to a 6-18 start that spelled the end of his tenure. In addition, a young pitcher named Sandy Koufax had a breakthrough year of a kind for the Dodgers. Logos were compiled by the amazing SportsLogos.net. Wills had been signed in 1951 by the Brooklyn Dodgers but when he came up to the majors in 1959, they had moved to Los Angeles.

The American League suspended Wills for two games and fined him $500. In 1963 his stolen base production dropped off sharply, but he hit .302, placing in the top ten in the league. Maury Wills (104) & Willie Davis (32) set an MLB record with the most stolen bases by 2 teammates with 136. Maury Wills was a star football quarterback and baseball pitcher for Cardozo High School (Washington, D.C.), and was signed to a contract by the National League Brooklyn (later Los Angeles) Dodgers in 1950. He began his noteworthy base stealing efforts in 1960, when he hit .295 (10th in the NL) and stole 50 bases. In 2014, Wills appeared for the first time as a candidate on the National Baseball Hall of Fame's Golden Era Committee election ballot[3] for possible Hall of Fame consideration in 2015 which required 12 votes.

[22] Nonetheless, the level of proficiency attained on Wills' principal instrument was attested to on two separate occasions by the American Federation of Musicians: first, in December 1962, when the president of Los Angeles Local 47, after hearing just a few minutes of banjo playing, promptly waived the balance of Wills' membership entrance exam,[23] and then, just over five years later, when trumpeter Charlie Teagarden, specifically citing "Maury's banjo-playing ability" (and evidently unaware of Wills' already established membership), "presented him, on behalf of the musicians union, an honorary lifetime membership."[24]. In Wills' first-full season in 1960, he hit .295 and led the league with 50 stolen bases, being the first National League player to steal 50 bases since Max Carey stole 51 in 1923. = Batting average; HR = Home runs; RBI = Runs batted in, Note: G = Games pitched; IP = Innings pitched; W = Wins; L = Losses; ERA = Earned run average; SO = Strikeouts, Note: G = Games pitched; W = Wins; L = Losses; SV = Saves; ERA = Earned run average; SO = Strikeouts, TSN Major League Player of the Year Award, TSN National League Player of the Year Award, Major League Baseball All-Star Game MVP Award, "1962 San Francisco Giants Schedule, Box Scores, and Splits", "1962 Los Angeles Dodgers Schedule, Box Scores, and Splits", Associated Press Athlete of the Year (male), Orel Hershiser's scoreless innings streak, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1962_Los_Angeles_Dodgers_season&oldid=962484515, Pages using infobox MLB yearly with unknown parameters, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, This page was last edited on 14 June 2020, at 09:55. There have been 14 different seasons in which a Dodger took home the Most Valuable Player award, and today we’ll be talking about the one who did it nearly 60 years ago, Maury Wills. In the 1959 World Series, he played in each of the six games, hitting 5-for-20 with one stolen base and two runs in the Dodger victory. He played for their minor league teams (1951-59) as a second baseman before he was called up to the parent club in 1959, where he played shortstop until he was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates (1967-68) and drafted in the expansion of the league by the Montreal Expos (1969). The Giants won the ensuing playoff series two games to one. Total Zone Rating and initial framework for Wins above Replacement calculations provided by Sean Smith. He stole 15 bases for the Expos (a team record until Mike Jorgensen swiped 16 in 1973) before a June 12, 1969 trade brought him home to L.A. Wills finished up his career there from 1969 to 1972. His 104 steals remained a Major League record for switch-hitters until 1985, when Vince Coleman eclipsed the mark with 110.
