His favorite part of the league is that it's been around since 1998 and doesn't charge a dime to play. His favorite moment is captaining the Cannons in the 2017 All-Star Classic, a beatdown of the Spartans 25-9. Coach Miller wanted to be a captain because ever since sub-captaining to a World Series champtionship in 2016, he's always had a desire to win more. Outside of baseball, Coach Miller enjoys spending time with his sons, Lukas & Carter. |

His favorite experiences are playing under the lights during the league's annual All-Star Showcase with family and friends in attendance.

JOSH PAUL #65
Debut: 2003 Team: Goonies (2005, 2008 - 2022) Managerial Record: 193-137 (.585) Managerial Seasons: 17 World Series Titles: 2 (2011, 2017) About Josh: Coach Paul's path to the Majors was sidelined by injury when he was 11. He was recruited to VLB by Commissioner Veto in 2003. There are so many things to love about the league, but what he takes away the most are the dozens of friendships he's developed over the years. He also enjoys seeing players improve and watching the all-time roster grow each season. There have been so many moments over his long career that he can't highlight just one - but the All-Star Classic is always a lasting memory. He enjoys the strategy of being a captain and cheering on his team when they conquer an insurmountable comeback. "Goonies Never Say Die". Outside of baseball, Coach Paul enjoys racquetball, geocaching, policing, being outdoors and spending time with friends and family. |
KYLE KENT#14
Debut: 2019 Team: Katanas (2022 - 2023) Managerial Record: 8-12 (.400) Managerial Seasons: 2 About Kyle: Coach Kent's VLB debut was in 2019. Kent still was "rookie eligible" for the massive 2020 year, where he set league single season rookie records for games (65), hits (153), runs (103) and doubles (31). Kent was also voted among his peers as Rookie of the Year for that season. Baseball has been a big part of Coach Kent's life and Veto League allows him to continue to take part in one of his favorite past times, especially playing in the annual night game. After being in the league a few years, and being picked by many captains, he wanted to try and become one. Having captain wins and losses tracked, along with trying to cement his team with so many other Veto World Series winners adds on to what makes Veto so special to Coach Kent. |

About Branden: Born in a little town of Coal Valley, IL, Branden has been a fan of baseball his whole life. Time has gone by to where he lost the love of baseball; mostly due to having to know people to be able to continue his dream, which he didn’t. He then found Veto League in 2015, and has fallen back in love with baseball. He has found many new friends through this league; that have also become family to him. Winning records, award winnings is not on his mind when he plays; even though it’s fun to win. Branden’s main goal is just to go out, have fun with his family, and continue loving the sport he loves! Outside baseball, Branden loves watching his nephews grow, also watch Cardinals (MLB), Vikings (NFL), Blues (NHL), and St. Louis City (MLS). He also likes to hanging out with family, friends, and his bunny Diggs! Hence why he named his team “Dilly Diggs.”
