Miller, after playing with a host of teams in several leagues, returned to the Yankees in the middle of 1921. He played centerfield in all the World Series games in 1921, although he hit only .161. Miller was traded in mid-July 1922 to the Red Sox. The next year Miller jumped to the outlaw Mid-West League, joining the Beloit Fairies. Miller played with the team until 1927 and later managed a team in Fremont, Montana. (MA)
