Bob Miller, one of the former Philadelphia Phillies' "Whiz Kids" who went on to be the longtime head coach of Detroit Mercy baseball, died on Saturday at the age of 94.
Miller coached the Titans from 1965-2001, leading to 25 winning seasons in 36 years, a 1965 NCAA tournament appearance and winning the first-ever Mid-Continent Conference title in 1997.
The three-sport star at Redford St. Mary's was offered a basketball scholarship at University of Detroit, but was instead drafted into the Army in 1944. He joined Detroit's baseball team in 1947, when he was discovered by a Phillies scout.
