If you didn't know, I'm related to six people who are also related to Dots Miller. None of them knew the story either and the Wagner story is what they believed as well. I'm in the process of telling them(and others I know that are related to Dots) the actual story.

The postcards are great pieces of his history. He sent one to family every time he got to a new town during the 1911 season, including one from a day the Pirates spent in Chattanooga playing an exhibition game. There were questions about the authenticity(the Miller autographs) but I actually knew they were sent to his relatives due to the address and I was able to verify he was in each city on the same day as the postmark. Also, one of his relatives has some similar postcards in an old family scrapbook. Once I get a chance, I'll add them to the display and post scans. Still not sure how I'm going to display postcards since both sides are significant.
