About Bill Miller
Bill Miller (William Paul Miller, born July 26, 1927, in Minersville, Pennsylvania; died July 1, 2003, in Lititz, Pennsylvania) was a left-handed pitcher who both batted and threw from the left side. He debuted with the New York Yankees on April 20, 1952, and pitched four major-league seasons, spending 1952 through 1954 in New York before finishing with the Baltimore Orioles in 1955 after being included in a 17-player trade between the two clubs following the 1954 campaign. Over 41 big-league appearances (18 as a starter) he compiled a 6-9 record with a 4.24 ERA, tossing five complete games, two shutouts and one save across 131 2/3 innings. Miller was a member of the Yankees' 1952 and 1953 World Series championship teams, though he did not pitch in either postseason. This card is his 1952 Topps rookie and sits at #403 in the coveted high-number series (#311-407) — cards printed in far smaller quantities and famously scarce today, which makes even role-player rookies like Miller genuinely tough to find.
