9-26-22: Tribute to Maury Wills

from SAX IN THE MORNING · host Steve Sax

I would love to hear from you, just send me text and let me know what you think of the podcast.Today I wanted to pay tribute to a wonderful man, teacher, coach, musician and baseball player, the great Maury Wills. Maury played with the Dodgers from 1959 to 1966. In 1962 he won the MVP award when he stole 104 bases, breaking Ty Cobb’s single season record dating back to 1915. Wills is still the Dodgers all-time steals leader with 490 stolen bases, he made 5 All-Star games and won three World Series Championships. He was also known for his musical talent and made extra money in the off season by performing in his band while singing and playing several instruments. Many Dodgers like me remember Maury for his amazing lessons in spring training on bunting and stealing. I know I owe a lot of my success stealing bases to the lessons I learned from Maury. So rest in peace my friend and thank you for the example of a life well lived. Visit my website: saxinthemorning.com for merchandise and other links. Follow us on social media: Instagram: @saxinthemorning_podcastYouTube: subscribe and watch shorts here   Remember, Sax in the Morning swag is now available on my Instagram site.
