Miles Teller was born in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, a small town situated about halfway between Philadelphia and Lancaster. As a youngster, Teller gravitated toward sports, taking a particular interest in baseball. A lifelong fan of the Philadelphia Phillies, Teller’s childhood dream was to someday play for his favorite team. “When I was a young kid, I wasn’t sharing stories of philosophy and this and that, it was baseball,” Teller explained in an interview with People, recalling his all-consuming passion for the sport. “It seems like a simple game, but it’s endless.”
As he hit adolescence, Teller continued to follow his baseball dreams. Eventually, though, he was forced to confront reality. “I played [baseball] in high school, but I was pretty small.” It was during high school, in fact, that Teller officially moved on from his dream of MLB glory. “I hit a lawn gnome full of ecstasy in ‘Project X’ with a baseball bat. So that was kind of the closest I think I’ll get [to pro baseball],” he once joked to Rolling Stone.
