T206 ..... with "rebuilt corner" .............
 T207 ..... one of my absolute favorite portraits ...............  xxxdots.jpg Also, from the above post: The only items I have are postcards he sent to family and he signed them all “Dots”. These were actually the items that made me question the famous nickname origin story, as in why would he sign postcards to family with Dots. Of course the "famous nickname" story, is that a reporter asked Wagner something like "who's the new kid?" and Wagner responded "That's Miller." Supposedly the reporter heard "That's" as "Dots." So now the question arises, with Miller signing family post cards as "Dots," was "Dots" a family nickname long before the Wagner story ......... ????? ..... Very interesting ............... Fun, fun, Scott

Quote:
Miller got his nickname at a very young age (said to be 2-3 years old) from his own German accent. He would pronounce "That's" as "Dots". Apparently he was very grabby as a toddler, so he was saying stuff like "dots mine" a lot. You can find him being called Dots Miller in local NJ papers three years before he ever met Wagner

Thanks for that verification ..... I was leaning that way.
Funny how some of those "Baseball tails" just stick around unquestioned. Also reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: “Dat Latams will drive me crazy some day.” -- Chris Von de Ahe (also German accent  )
