In 1922, Miner was pitching in the Blue Grass League when a foul ball was caught by a spectator who threw it accurately back to him from her seat. Miner was introduced to the fan, Marie Felice Welsh, and they married in February 1923.[1]
In 1924, Miner was acquitted of murder after a trial in Kentucky. Miner was charged as an accomplice because he had been with a man the day he shot and killed another man on the street.[2]
