Bob Miller

Robert Gerald Miller
Batted: Right
Threw: Left
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 185 lbs.
Born: July 15, 1935 in Berwyn, IL
Signed: 1953 by the Detroit Tigers
Acquired: traded from the Cincinnati Reds with Cliff Cook for Don Zimmer, May 1962
Died: May 24, 2022 in St. Charles, IL

 

In his four seasons with the Tigers in the 1950s, Bob twice had ERAs of under 2.50, and twice had ERAs of over 5.50! Six years later he came back to the majors for one last fling and gave up more than 10 runs per game. Hmm. He's pictured below on 1956 Topps; up here is one of the vintage treasures of my collection: 1955 Topps Double Header.

1956 Topps

This is a list of the cards of this player that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity prior to my divestiture.  The cards listed in white text are the ones that still remained until that final deal.  Items listed in green I kept out of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and den.  At the bottom and listed in orange text are cards that I picked up after the dealing was done, in order to maintain a certain continuity at this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the top of the page, and maybe in the autographs and game-used areas.  If an orange card is struck through, it has also departed the collection.  I’m still accepting donations, should you feel so moved.  Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
