Default Dots Miller Appreciation Thread

Dots Miller was born 138 years ago today. The long-time Kearny, NJ resident (birthplace of me) was a star second baseman for the 1909 World Series champs. He was mentored by Honus Wagner during his time with the Pittsburgh Pirates, then later became the mentor to a young Rogers Hornsby with the St Louis Cardinals. John McGraw once called him the most valuable player due to his all-around game on offense, defense and the bases, as well as his decision making on the field.
