Wills liked to mingle with Hollywood movie stars. He claimed to have had an affair in 1962 with actress/singer Doris Day, who was a big Dodgers fan. “Doris Day is a lovely lady, and we did see each other,” Wills wrote in his 1991 book, On the Run. “And, yes, we were lovers.” The two met at Dodger Stadium and began dating, according to Wills. Rumors began to circulate throughout the summer. The whispers grew louder. Day and Wills were both married. Plus, Day being white and Wills being black mattered to many people in early-1960s America. Reporters asked Wills about the relationship. Bavasi ordered Wills into his office and “made it clear that the club wouldn’t look kindly on the public relations nightmare likely to ensue if white fans learned that one of the team’s star players was dating America’s girl-next-door,” Michael Leahy wrote in his book The Last Innocents, about the Dodger teams of the Koufax-Wills era. Bavasi ordered Wills to stop seeing Day. (Day in her autobiography wrote that she and Wills were simply friends and that “we certainly never saw each other alone anywhere.”
