[edit] Biographical Information

Everett Mills, also called "Ev Mills", played all five years of the National Association's existence and the first year of the National League. His time as a ballplayer goes back at least as far as the 1865 Newark Eurekas, for whom he played first base. He holds the single season record for most at-bats in a season without getting a walk. In 1875, he had 342 ABs and not a single BB. This isn't entirely surprising, however, as in 1525 career at-bats, he walked only 13 times and had 12 strikeouts.

The book "When Johnny Came Sliding Home: the post civil-war baseball boom, 1865-70" calls him a "jovial wise-cracking first baseman".
