Maury Wills stole 104 bases in 1962, breaking Ty Cobb's modern-day record of 95. Will's shoes were bronzed and put on display at the old downtown Las Vegas Club. Brady Exber spent half the summer at Wll's house when he was a kid. He was dropped off at airport by Wilson's plane. The guard recognized him and escorted him to the gate. He died Monday at 89. His shoes are now in a Las Las Vegans casino. They were returned to Brady's father after his funeral. It was fitted with a facade patterned on Ebbets Field. There is a resemblance between the casino and the former home of the Dodgers.
