No way for Wills?
Give Ricky Henderson his due in voting for the Hall of Fame, but what about Maury Wills?
In 1962, Wills virtually reinvented baseball offense in the same way Koufax and Drysdale reinvented pitching. Without Wills, the Dodgers would have had no offense. He was the first player to steal 100 bases in a season. His total stolen bases in 1962 represented 25% of the total bases stolen in the major leagues in the previous year.
It’s an insult to Wills, to the Dodgers and baseball history that Wills has not be selected for the Hall of Fame.
