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

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 )
