HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

He was the better of the two Bob Millers, despite a 1- 12 record. He was the one who was there the whole '62 season, not the one they got when they traded away Don Zimmer. I believe that one win was either his last win or his last decision in '62. Does anybody know how he died?

I remember reading a very touching piece about Bob in the New York Times after he got his first Met win in 1974. It spoke of his journeyman status, and that after being known simply as the 1-12 Met from 1962, he came back 12 years later to win for a good Mets team.

Even my Mom, who wasn't really a baseball fan, teared up when she read it.

Bob "Righty" Miller and Bob "Lefty" Miller were also roomed together on the road in 1962 so there wouldn't be any confusion if someone called a hotel looking for Bob Miller.

Sadly, Bob L. Miller was killed in a car accident in California a few years ago.

Even though I was only 11 at the time, I "knew" Bob L. Miller (the righty) had better stuff than his record showed. My assessment proved valid, as he would go on to have a long, succesful career as a reliever and earn two World Series Championship rings ('63 Dodgers, '71 Pirates) before ending his career as a Met once more. The players he was traded for also end their careers as Mets — less than two years after joining the team. Larry Burright's claim to fame was being rested one day in favor of understudy Ron Hunt — the rest is history. Tim Harkness was immortalized by a Banner Day entry that read "Hit one into the darkness, Harkness."
