Nearly 4,200 fans cast their votes in the latest poll, which began May 1 and closed yesterday. A new poll is being posted on the first Wednesday of each month throughout the 2002 season.

Wills was the winner in the closest of the three 40th Anniversary polls so far. Wills tallied 1,638 votes (39.1 percent), narrowly beating out 1988 National League Most Valuable Player Kirk Gibson by just 17 votes (1,621, 38.7 percent). Next in the voting were second baseman Steve Sax (419), second baseman Davey Lopes (264) and outfielder Willie Davis (248). The switch-hitting Wills, who led the National League in stolen bases six consecutive seasons (1960-65) enjoyed a 12-year Dodger career and hails as the franchise's all-time leader in steals with 490.

His best individual season was 1962, coinciding with the opening of Dodger Stadium. That year, Wills became the first Major Leaguer in the modern era to reach the 100-plateau in stolen bases when he swiped 104, eclipsing the seemingly unbeatable single-season mark of 96, set by Ty Cobb in 1915. Wills batted .299 with 208 hits, including 10 triples, 51 walks and 130 runs scored and was honored as the National League Most Valuable Player. Whenever Wills got on base, Dodger Stadium fans went into a frenzy as chants of "Go, Go, Go" echoed throughout the ballpark, encouraging him to steal a base. During his record-setting 1962 campaign, Wills swiped 61 bases before the home crowd. In 1965, he threatened his own single-season mark when he recorded 94 thefts.

In the two previous Dodger Stadium 40th Anniversary polls, Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully was picked as the All-Time Favorite Dodger at Dodger Stadium and Sandy Koufax's 1965 perfect game was tabbed as the best pitching performance in stadium history.

The next fan poll will appear on the Dodgers website beginning Wednesday, June 5
