Listed at , , he batted and threw right-handed. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Mills was one of many ballplayers who appeared in the major leagues only during the World War II years.

Career Mills, who had been rejected by the military draft because of a perforated ear drum, started his professional baseball career in 1944 with the Lancaster Red Roses of the Interstate League, but was promoted to the Athletics in the month of June as the draft was depleting major league rosters of first-line players.

Following his major league stint, Mills played in the minor leagues until 1949. Over a five-year career, he posted a .286 average with 17 home runs in 316 games.
