Maury Wills

He stole 104 bases in 1962, the most larceny anyone saw at Dodger Stadium until they started charging for parking, won the MVP and three World Series and brought the stolen base back from the dead. Then he managed the Mariners for 82 games, during which he had the groundskeepers make the batter’s boxes longer, got suspended for it and was fired. He died at 89 in Sedona, presumably headfirst.
