Chadron State College Athletic Hall of Fame
A native of Alaska, Miller was promptly nicknamed “Eskimo” when he arrived at Chadron State in the fall of 1971 after playing baseball the previous year at Western New Mexico. He was a picture of consistency at the plate for the Eagles. He had batting averages of .338, .333 and .336 at CSC. His career batting average of .336 (89 of 265) is ninth on the CSC all-time list. He struck out just 14 times during his career. He played third and first base most of the time.
After serving as a fireman in his hometown of Douglas, Alaska, for about 25 years, Miller and his wife, the former Kathleen Sillesen, a native of Ogallala who also attended CSC, live in North Platte.
