The first installment of Better Know a Miller kicks off with Dom Ball, who, with Jackson Arms not making the trip, has the misfortune of being the first player alphabetically.
Name: Dominic Ball
Number: 4
School: Annunciation
Primary positions: SS, 3B, 2B
On a team of hypochondriacs, neurotics, and caffeine junkies, Dom is a calming influence. He is well-known for clutch hits, an easy deameanor, and for stealing the game ball after wins. Because his parents hate him he attended an all-day baseball camp briefly during the season, meaning one day he played 33 innings of baseball. We were amazed he could even walk.
2012 season high point: Several bases-clearing doubles in tournaments.
2012 season low point: Error on a game-end grounder rolling about as fast as a hamster in an exercise ball opened the floodgates in an agonizing tie vs Edina.
Weird habit worth mentioning: Dom has taken the use of charcoal smudge to the next level. He once pitched a game with his face entirely covered in black smudge. This made him look like either a burn victim or a racist caricature.
Most likely to get kicked out of Cooperstown Dreams Park for: Racially insensitive use of face paint.
