Wills was known for his blazing speed, having stolen 586 bases in his career, including insane major league-leading totals of 104 in 1962, and 94 in 1965. Wills was a seven-time All-Star, an MVP (1962), two-time Gold Glove Award winner at shortstop, and three-time World Series champ with the Dodgers (1959, 1963, 1965).
His 586 thefts place him 20th on the all-time list. He led the National League in SBs from 1960-1965. He finished his career with a .281 average and a .330 on-base percentage.
Maury Wills' legacy is defined by speed and persistence. The legendary Dodgers shortstop passes away at age 89.
