Not Worth It Wills Moves Toward Babe Ruth Salary Class
Dodgers star Maury Wills tops the salary scale discussion after General Manager Buzzie Bavasi indicates Wills will be paid as highly as Babe Ruth ever earned. Wills, 33, has never matched Ruth’s milestones but has stolen 104 bases in a season and eyes a big payday. He was not at spring training in Florida, returning from Japan where he toured a nightclub act.

Wisconsin Expansion Bid Portrayed as Major League Setback
In a Wisconsin anti trust case, prosecutors paint National League owners as skeptics who rejected Milwaukee’s 1965 expansion bid to replace the Braves. Bud Selig testifies that Miami Beach owners dismissed plans by a Wisconsin syndicate backed by 4.3 million, while figures argued attendances and capitalization would not meet NL standards. O Malley indicated he opposed expansion unless Milwaukee’s political climate improved, with a possible resubmission in late 1966.
