Robert Lane Miller was a pitcher in Major League Baseball. Miller was never a star pitcher, but his ability to fill in as a starter or reliever, as needed, allowed him to have a career that spanned 18 years in Major League Baseball. In his diverse journey through organized baseball, he played for three World Series champions?the 1963 Los Angeles Dodgers, 1965 Los Angeles Dodgers and the 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates?five league champions and four division winners, as well as for four teams that lost 100 or more games in a season. Miller played for ten different teams during his major league career, tying a modern-day record with Dick Littlefield that has since been broken. He played with three different teams in each of three different seasons: the Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs in 1970; the Cubs, San Diego Padres and Pittsburgh Pirates in 1971; and the Padres, Detroit Tigers and New York Mets in 1973. Steve Treder of Hardball Times described Miller as a "whatever-is-needed utility pitcher". [More at Wikipedia]
