"He stole base No. 93 against the Milwaukee Braves in game No. 151 — against some catcher named Joe Torre. Wills was almost unstoppable. In a game in Chicago against the Cubs, he took off for second base and, as the ball was flying over the mound, he heard the umpire's call. 'Safe,' said Jocko Conlan. The Cubs protested, saying that Conlan made the call well before the ball had even arrived at second base. To which Conlan replied, 'You ain't got him all year. Why would you think you'd get him this time?'" - Sportswriter Bill Dwyre in the Los Angeles Times (04/09/2012, 'Fifty years ago, Maury Wills made crime pay off for the Dodgers', Source)
