Donald Ray Miles (March 13, 1936 – April 26, 2011) was an American outfielder in Major League Baseball who played in eight games for the Los Angeles Dodgers during the 1958 season.
Miles was a four-sport star in football, basketball, baseball, and track at Ben Davis High School in Indianapolis from 1950-54. He attended college at Indiana Central (today the University of Indianapolis) where he continued to play the same four sports as a freshman in 1954-55, starring as fullback on the football team as well as in the outfield in baseball.[1] Miles returned for his sophomore year and played football in the fall of 1955,[2] then quit school mid-year to sign with the Dodgers.
