pic.twitter.com/zCtmuSUB0oWills was called up to the Dodgers from the minor leagues mid-season in 1959, playing all six games in their World Series victory that year. The following year, he hit .295 and led the league with 50 stolen bases in his first full season.
In 1962, Wills stole 104 bases to set a new MLB record – though his mark was set with an “asterisk,” as previous record-holder Ty Cobb’s 96 steals came during a 154-game season (with the league expanded to 162 games, Wills’ 97th stolen base came after his team’ 154th game).His modern-era record would be eclipsed in 1974 by Lou Brock (118), and again in 1982 by Rickey Henderson (130). With 586, Wills’ career stolen bases currently rank 20th in all of baseball.
Though he excelled at stealing to the degree that teams began reconsidering speed as a key offensive component, Wills was an all-around player who won Golden Glove awards an was selected to play in seven All-Star games.He had brief stints with the Pittsburgh Pirates and Motreal Expos, but returned to Los Angeles to finish out his career. He had a brief and undistinguished career as a manager of the Seattle Mariners, going 26-56 overall – one of the worst records ever recorded by a full-time skipper.But his greatest love outside of baseball was playing music; he spent much of his free time pursuing singing and playing the banjo, and was considered quite prolific on the instrument.

Lily Moayeri Gorillaz used their tour stop in Los Angeles not only to play a packed show at the city’s Kia Forum but also to hold a special advance listening session for their new album, the provocatively titled “Cracker Island,” set for release on February 24, 2023. Gorillaz albums are always filled with guests, and the Damon Albarn-helmed group reeled in a grip of musical stars to join them on stage at the Forum on Friday night: Namely Beck, Tame Impala and Thundercat, who are among the features on “Cracker Island” — along with Stevie Nicks and Bad Bunny, both of whom were on tour elsewhere (more about the latter shortly). Beck, dressed like the best man at a wedding circa 1977, turned up once for “The Valley of the Pagans” from his 2020 collaboration with the group, and again for the first-ever unveiling of his song from “Cracker Island,” “Possession Island.” Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker sang alongside Albarn on the already-released single, “New Gold,” accompanied by Bootie Brown, and Thundercat smoothly slid on stage for their rendition of the album’s title track.
