Family members of Old time ball players
Posted By: Ken McMillan
My story of a relative is as follows: My great great uncle played center field for the Yankees in the 1921 world series. He was the lead off batter for the Yankees and got a single making him the first Yankee to ever get a hit in a world series. There was a sacrifice bunt to advance him to second base. Babe Ruth singled to score my relative from second base making my uncle the first Yankee to ever score a run in a world series. His was basically an unknown player for the Yanks, but played several years for them. His name was Elmer Miller. The Yankees have been to many world series since then and won many world series, but my relative was literally the start of a dynasty. Or maybe he was in the right place at the right time? |
