The Story of the Autograph
Rick Miller is a former major league outfielder. His career in the majors lasted from 1971 to 1985 and he played for the Boston Red Sox, in two separate stints, and the California Angels.
Miller was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He excelled in athletics in high school and went on to attend Michigan State. From there he was drafted by the Red Sox in the second round of the 1969 MLB Draft. Just two years later he was a September call-up on September 4, 1971 and played 15 games to close out the season.
He built up his playing time and become a regular outfielder for the Red Sox. That included a World Series appearance against the Reds in 1975 where he unfortunately got two at-bats without a hit. He moved on to the Angels as a free agent in late 1977 and spent three seasons there. He was then traded back to the Red Sox in December of 1980 with Mark Clear and Carney Lansford for Rick Burleson and Butch Hobson.
Miller was somewhat solid throughout his career with his best season being 1979 when he put up a 2.7 WAR for the Angels. That year he put up a .293 average in 120 games with two homers and 28 RBI. For his career he hit .269 with 28 homers and 369 RBI. He won a Gold Glove while with the Angels in 1978.
Miller is the brother-in-law of Carlton Fisk.
The Score on Rick Miller – 7.0
Rick does a good job on cards. He has a pretty standard signature but its clean and it fills up the card pretty well. I think it came out best on the 1986 Topps card. But the others don’t look too shabby at all either.
Thanks Mr. Miller! I’m giving this return a 7.
