Roy David McMillan (July 17, 1929 – November 2, 1997) was an American professional baseball player, coach and manager. He played in Major League Baseball as a shortstop from 1951 to 1966, most prominently as a member of the Cincinnati Reds, where he was the starting shortstop for nine seasons.[1][2]
A two-time All-Star player, McMillan was one of the top defensive shortstops of his era.[2][3] Nicknamed "Mr. Shortstop" because of his defensive play, he won three Gold Glove Awards during his tenure with the Reds.[3] He teamed with Reds second baseman, Johnny Temple, to form one of the best double-play combinations of the 1950s.[3]
McMillan also played for the Milwaukee Braves and the New York Mets. Following his retirement as a player, McMillan managed the Brewers and Mets.[4] McMillan was inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame in 1971.[3]
