Eddie Gaedel, 3-foot 7-inches, takes his only major league at-bat on Aug. 19, 1951, for Bill Veeck’s St. Louis Browns. Gaedel walked on four pitches and was taken out for a pinch-runner. The catcher is Detroit’s Bob Swift; the umpire is Ed Hurley. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
I think I woulda been a Browns fan. Lovable losers.
