Who was one of the shortest players in major league baseball and how long did they play for?
Eddie Gaedel was one of the shortest players in Major League Baseball history, standing at just 3 feet 7 inches tall. He played for the St. Louis Browns in 1951, appearing in one game as a pinch hitter. Gaedel's lone at-bat resulted in a walk, and he scored a run after being advanced around the bases on a series of intentional walks. He was intentionally walked four times, becoming the only player in MLB history to have four walks in a single game without making an out. Gaedel's brief appearance in the majors was a publicity stunt organized by Browns owner Bill Veeck, and he never played another game in MLB.
