Robert Miller
Robert "Bob" or "Ruby" or "Jim" Miller, 3B/SS, is shown in the uniform of the Chicago American Giants. This player is a bit of a puzzle. Seamheads.com calls this player Robert "Bob" or "Rudy" Miller and indicates that he played for the Birmingham Black Barons (1923) and Memphis Red Sox (1924 and 1928). Yet Seamheads displays a head shot of this same 1927 Chicago American Giants photo for their record display on Robert Miller. That's their only tie to the American Giants. The caption for the 1927 American Giants team photo calls the player "Jim Miller." But I can't find any record of a Jim Miller in the Negro Leagues, so I've concluded that he is the same guy as Robert Miller.
