This a story passed along to us from Troy in Hanover... if you'd like to see a feature on a team or person you know send us a write-up to palegionbaseball@gmail.com and we'll put it on the front page of the site!
Over the past twenty-eight years, Jeff Miller has not missed a game. Not a single one. Jeff serves as an assistant coach, statistician, and field preparer for Hanover Post #14, which is located in York County in Region 4.
On May 28th, in a contest against Suburban York, Jeff coached in his 600th consecutive game. Jeff epitomizes the dedication and spirit for American Legion Baseball that so many people share with him across Pennsylvania. Coach Miller has been with the program in both good times and bad, and has served most notably as a mentor to literally hundreds of aspiring athletes throughout the decades.
People like Jeff are why so many fans and players flock to American Legion games across the country. These coaches don't get paid much, or at all, but dedicate their time and passion to help nurture a new generation of ballplayers. His presence has not gone unnoticed, as Jeff is a Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame member through the American Legion program.
We salute Jeff for his dedication and service to the betterment of PA American Legion Baseball!
Feel free to leave your well wishes for Jeff in the comments section, they'll surely be passed along to him.
