About Bob Miller
Working strictly in relief in 1966, Miller went 4-2 with five saves and a 2.77 ERA as the Dodgers repeated as National League champions. Baltimore then swept the World Series in four, and Miller's contribution was three innings of relief in the opener after Don Drysdale gave up four runs in the first two frames. Card 208 is a third-series number. One caution for anyone sorting a 1966 run: this is the Dodgers right-hander Robert Lane Miller, not the left-handed Bob Miller whose playing days ended in 1962.
Robert Lane Miller, born February 18, 1939 in St. Louis, Missouri, was a right-handed pitcher who worked seventeen big league seasons between 1957 and 1974 and passed through ten different franchises, tying what was then the modern-era record. Born Robert Lane Gemeinweiser, he signed with his hometown Cardinals as a bonus baby out of Beaumont High School in June 1957 and debuted six days later at eighteen. After St. Louis came the Mets, Dodgers, Twins, Indians, White Sox, Cubs, Padres, Pirates, Tigers and a return to New York. He pitched for three World Series winners, the 1963 and 1965 Dodgers and the 1971 Pirates, and never allowed a run in a Series game for Los Angeles. Used first as a swingman and then almost entirely in relief, he finished 69-81 with 51 saves, 895 strikeouts and a 3.37 ERA in 694 games. He later managed Amarillo to a Texas League title, served as pitching coach for the expansion Blue Jays and held the same job with the Giants. He died August 6, 1993 of injuries from a car crash in Rancho Bernardo, California, while scouting for San Francisco.
