Biography
Ray Miller was a professional baseball player born in 1888, who played in Major League Baseball for a brief period in 1917. His career, though short-lived, saw him take the field in 25 games, primarily as a position player. Over the course of the season, Miller recorded 8 hits, 2 runs batted in, and finished with a batting average of .167. He did not hit any home runs and did not steal any bases during his time in the league.
Miller's tenure in baseball coincided with a transformative era in the sport, where the game was beginning to evolve from the deadball era into a more offense-oriented style in the years that followed. Despite his limited statistical impact, Miller's presence in the Major Leagues reflects the countless players of that time who contributed to the fabric of baseball history, even in fleeting moments. His career spanned only a few months, from April 14 to August 24 in 1917, but it serves as a reminder of the many individuals who pursued their dreams on the diamond during the early 20th century.
