Dots Miller Appreciation Thread
Dots Miller was born 138 years ago today. The long-time Kearny, NJ resident (birthplace of me) was a star second baseman for the 1909 World Series champs. He was mentored by Honus Wagner during his time with the Pittsburgh Pirates, then later became the mentor to a young Rogers Hornsby with the St Louis Cardinals. John McGraw once called him the most valuable player due to his all-around game on offense, defense and the bases, as well as his decision making on the field.

Please check out my books on baseball history. They include the bio of star second baseman Dots Miller. A book featuring 20 Moonlight Graham players who got into just one game. Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
