Eddie Miller
1941 Play Ball
Edward Robert “Eddie” Miller (November 26, 1916 - July 31, 1997) kept himself in a Major League lineup with his exceptional fielding and glovework and led National League shortstops in fielding five times during his 14 years career. Eddie played middle infield for the Cincinnati Reds (1936-1937, 1943-1947), the Boston Bees/Braves (1939-1940/1941-1942), the Philadelphia Phillies (1948-1949) and the St. Louis Cardinals (1950). The seven-time National League All-Star was particularly adept at hitting doubles and led the NL in 1947 with 38 and finishing his career with 263 doubles. Miller posted a .972 career fielding percentage at shortstop with 2,976 putouts, 4,500 assists, 946 double plays and 217 errors in 7,693 chances. Though he never led his team to the World Series, Eddie did earn NL MVP consideration in eight seasons from 1939 to 1948. Eddie Miller ended his career after the 1950 season with a .238 career batting average, 1,270 hits, 539 runs and 640 RBI in 1,510 games played.
