Thank y'all for putting the t205 website together. looking forward to reading it. Here are two of only a handful that I own.

Also, great article on Dots Miller about how he got his name.
The nickname story sounds like it was something that was made up because no one could figure out the real reason, but that is what was passed down through the years to the relatives I have in common with Dots, so I'm sticking to it. For the most part though, he was referenced more as Jack Miller in the newspaper, not Dots, and definitely not John(his given name).

Funny that I just noticed this even though I have had the card for years. His t205 has John D Miller written on it twice...his middle name was Barney. It is correct on the t207 and his Cracker Jack card
