1996年剛進金鶯，面對名人堂投手Jim Palmer的歡迎時，威爾斯不是客氣回謝，而是劈頭就問：「你有認識教士隊的人嗎？」才落腳就打算轉隊的想法讓帕莫當場傻眼。事後威爾斯也承認教士和洋基是他此生「唯二」屬意的球隊，理由很簡單，因為教士是故鄉球隊，洋基則是偶像「棒球之王」魯斯一手打造的王國...

「大部分人們望向天空是想和上帝對話，而我則是找老媽聊聊。若是杳無回音，那我便知道她八成是喝醉了。」

威爾斯外表粗獷，望之儼然蓄滿雜鬚、頂著啤酒肚的大卡車司機，但從小失去父親、和生母相依為命的他其實內心脆弱敏感，常因小事種下心結。他曾於受訪時坦承1992年藍鳥找來賽揚名投孔恩（David Cone）佔掉輪值空缺，讓自己先發夢碎後，心中一度恨透了這位新隊友。此外，1998年投出完全比賽，並助洋基奪下世界大賽金盃後竟遭「真心換絕情」，於季後被當作籌碼、向藍鳥交易「火箭人」克萊門斯（Roger Clemens）一事，也讓威爾斯對條紋軍心生怨妒。

不過一如威爾斯快意恩仇的江湖作風，他非但在孔恩入隊後不久便與之結為摯友，還回頭大方說：「你沒辦法痛恨孔恩，他太酷、太有趣、太好相處。」至於克萊門斯則在2002年和威爾斯成為隊友兼好友，隔年還因退休在即，於威爾斯登板的比賽中客串一日教頭。不計前嫌的威爾斯整整投了7.2局好球，給足火箭人面子，也順利拿下生涯第200勝。當8局上克萊門斯步出休息區準備換人時，威爾斯不禁咧嘴露出頑皮笑容。

「關於我的一切就是矛盾，對世人而言亦復如此。我們生為對立的兩方、居於兩極之間，內心並存阿世媚俗者和唯美主義者、謀殺犯與大聖人。你無法調合兩極，你只能認清他們。」--影史經典「大國民」導演Orson Welles
