    My only memories of him were of him managing the last-place Mariners

    My grandfather worked part time as a hunting guide while Wills was managing the Spokane Indians. He took Wills on a guided Elk hunting trip and Wills smoked pot and took a couple cocaine bumps at the campfire. I was too enthralled at the drug use I forgot if he shot an elk or not. CSB.

    Wills was one of many 1960's Dodgers who appeared on shows like the Brady Bunch

    Also heard that he led the league in steals 6 times and caught stealing 7 times. No anal-ytics back then

    Also my favorite Pilot, Tommy Harper was a big bas stealer
