Subject: Maury Wills Steals His Last Base

Written By: LyricBoy on 09/20/22 at 6:10 pm

Legendary baseball stolen-base champ Maury Wills has passed away at the age of 89.  :\'(. No cause of death has been released.

Way back in ‘62, he made his mark by demolishing Ty Cobb’s record for stolen bases in a single year.  8)

During Maury’s short tenure with my hometown Picksburgh Pirates, I managed to get him to autograph my baseball glove at a game in Forbes Field. Unfortunately, I was your typical kid and played with that glove until the autograph was worn off.  ;D

Before my time, but I remember my Dad speaking of him - with much respect.  Sad to say goodbye  :\'(  :\'(  :\'(

He played for my team, the Dodgers... long before my time, but I still know about him. (A true Dodger fan knows the team's history well.) Plus my parents remember him too.
