Bump Wills played his first five years of professional baseball with the Texas Rangers where the son of Maury Wills continued his father’s legacy of stealing bases and to this day still holds the single season record for Stolen Bases (52) for the team. Wills was not much of a slugger but made up for it with above average defense at Second Base.
