A look at Garden State-born Major League Baseball Players. Some you will know and some are unknown to us all, but represented Jersey in the show.
John "Dots" Miller (Kearny, NJ) Pirates/Cardinals/Phillies 1909-1921http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/milledo02.shtml
Career Highlights: Miller had 4 RBI and 3 SB in the 1909 World Series as a member of the winning Pittsburgh Pirates.
Reportedly, he got the nickname "Dots" after someone asked Miller's thick-accented teammate Honus Wagner where they could find John Miller. Wagner pointed to Miller and replied, "Dots (That's) Miller."
