Maury Wills says this is his last spring training as a Los Angeles Dodgers instructor

Dodgers legend Maury Wills expects this to be his final spring as an instructor with the club, he told The Times on Thursday.

Wills, 83, has yet to inform the Dodgers of his decision but said he was at peace with it.

"I'm a very spiritual person and I feel like I've received the message that it's about that time," Wills said.

Wills has spent nearly two decades — from Vero Beach, Fla., to Camelback Ranch in Arizona — teaching Dodgers players the finer points of bunting and base running.

The field he teaches on is aptly named Maury's Pit.
