1970 Topps #595 Maury Wills
About Maury Wills
Wills hit .222 in 47 games for Montreal in 1969 and briefly retired on June 3, returning 48 hours later. After the June trade he batted .297 with 25 steals in 104 games for Los Angeles and finished 11th in National League MVP voting. His sixth-series card, #595, pictures him with the Dodgers.
Maury Wills was the switch-hitting shortstop credited with reviving the stolen base as a weapon, a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers teams that won three World Series titles between 1959 and 1965. Signed by Brooklyn in 1950, he spent eight seasons in the minors, starting in Class D, before a June 1959 call-up finally stuck. In 1962 he stole a record 104 bases, breaking the modern-era mark of 96 that Ty Cobb set in 1915, and won the National League Most Valuable Player award over Willie Mays. He led the league in steals six times, made five All-Star teams, and won Gold Gloves at shortstop in 1961 and 1962. After the 1966 season the Dodgers traded him to Pittsburgh, where he played mostly third base. The expansion Montreal Expos drafted him after 1968, and a June 1969 trade sent him back to Los Angeles, where he finished his career. Wills retired in 1972 with a .281 average, 2,134 hits and 586 stolen bases, then managed the Seattle Mariners in parts of 1980 and 1981. He spent fifteen years on the Hall of Fame ballot, from 1978 to 1992, and peaked at 40.6% of the vote. Through most of his playing career he spent off-seasons performing on banjo in nightclubs. He died in 2022.
