Maury Wills, 1962 NL MVP
Wills set a record for steals in a season in 1962, swiping 104 and getting caught just 13 times. Voters apparently got wrapped up in the mark, ignoring Willie Mays’ beastly season, in which he slashed .304/.384/.615 with 141 RBI to go with a majors-leading 49 home runs. Wills, by comparison, had just 29 extra-base hits.
