looking for Grandfather memorabilia (Bill Miller) 1936-1940(picutres ext.)

Per Horne there is a '38 Zeenut of Oscar Miller of the SF Seals. A miss is as good as a mile. He was in just 14 games with Hollywood so a card wouldn't have been likely nor even an appearance in a team photo, but it doesn't rule out there being a wirephoto, snapshot etc. Maybe one of our lurking PCL gurus will proffer something. Best bet I'm thinking would be any photos that might have been taken when he was with San Antonio, his longest stint. Don't know of any card issues pertinent to his minor league stops. He had a pretty rough day at the office against the White Sox in 1937 but he got to live the dream even if it was for only one tough afternoon. That's more than any of us cardboard jockeys can say.

Well put, David! Also too bad he wasn't 25 years earlier - with that career, he'd have been a natural fit for T207.

Best of luck in your quest!

I stumbled across this picture of Bill Miller of the Browns in the book "Baseball Memories 1930-39 by Marc Okkonen. This is a very bad reproduction from a newspaper I suppose, but it is a picture of Bil Miller! Good luck in your search.
