When I wrote a biography about Dots Miller, I saw a lot of local praise calling him a superstar soccer player. He owned a bowling alley and was consistently the best one there (better than my great-grandfather according to the scores!). He won plenty of tournaments during the baseball off-season. He also won a fishing tournament if that helps his case. The Pirates played some basketball during the very early parts of one Spring Training and he was singled out for his play. That was besides being called the best utility player by multiple sources for his ability to play anywhere and excel in all aspects of the game.
