Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ernest Riles (born October 2, 1960 in Cairo, Georgia) is a former shortstop and third baseman in Major League Baseball. From 1985 through 1993, Riles played for the Milwaukee Brewers (1985-1988), San Francisco Giants (1988-1990), Oakland Athletics (1991), Houston Astros (1992) and Boston Red Sox (1993). He batted left-handed and threw right-handed. Riles was a promising infielder with a good throwing arm and great bat speed, but a litany of injuries and ineffectiveness forced his retirement in 1995, at age 34. He was signed by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 1981 amateur draft. In 1983, he led the Texas League in batting average (.349), on base percentage (.450) and OPS (.958), being promoted to Triple-A Pacific Coast League the next year.
