William Paul Miller (July 26, 1927 – July 1, 2003) was an American
(1955). Listed at 6 feet (1.8 m) tall and 175 pounds (79 kg), Miller batted and threw left-handed.Biography
In his four-season MLB career, Miller posted a 6–9
bases on balls with 158 strikeouts. He was a member of the Yankees teams that won the World Series in 1952 and 1953, though he did not pitch during the postseason. After the 1954 season, Miller was part of one of the largest trades in Major League history, a 17-player swap between the Yankees and Orioles that also included Gene Woodling, Gus Triandos, Don Larsen and Bob Turley.[1]
But after only five games with the 1955 Orioles, four in relief, Miller was sent to the minor leagues. He retired after the 1956 season, his 12th as a professional.
Death
Miller died of
congestive heart failure at age 75.[2]
