Dots Miller’s given name was John. He got the nickname “Dots” because when he first came up, a sportswriter asked teammate Honus Wagner who the new guy was. Wagner, in his thick German accent, said, “Dot’s Miller.”
Hugh Mulcahy has one of the worst nicknames in the history of baseball. In four seasons as a starting pitcher for the Phillies, he twice led the league in losses. He went 45-89 for his career, leading to the nickname “Losing Pitcher Mulcahy”.
The brother of Phil Roof, Paul Roof was a pitcher for four seasons in the Braves’ system, never going higher than Class A.

Berrios on the mound, through a solid inning already.

Anyway, I'll start some threads for those who want to talk about chapters as they go along.
If you want to plan ahead for library reasons, we'll do Wintering by Peter Geye next month.
