musing on the topic of Bump Wills

Apropos of the Franchise Icon topic, I was thinking of the players that immediately sprung to mind for each franchise. Being a baseball card collector as a kid, the players I associate with each team aren't necessarily the team's stars, but rather the images I remember from cards. For example, Garth Iorg is my Blue Jay.

So, anyway I'm going through each team in my head and when I get to the Rangers, I think of Bump Wills. And I'm thinking, isn't "bump" drug slang for coke? And I'm thinking, isn't Maury Wills the one who named his kid Bump? And didn't Maury get busted for possession?

Question: does Bump have siblings named Toot, Blow, Nose Candy, Chippy or Cholly? And, does Maury have a sister named Nora?
