Dave23, I remember Wills as being one of the only weapons the Dodgers had. Not true, they had the Davis boys and stellar starting pitching, but it was so frustrating to see Wills walk, steal second, steal third and then Junior Gilliam, Willie Davis, or Tommy Davis would single or hit a fly or whatever, Koufax would throw a shut out, and the Dodgers would go home with yet another 1-0 win. I'm sure it only happened on occasion but it seemed like every game.
I don't recall Henderson or Coleman or Brock ever having that impact. Brock won the Cards a lot of games and Henderson did the same for the A's and Yankees, but there was this thing about the Dodgers that the first thing you thought of for several years was...oh, yeah, Maury Wills.
