This is a must have for the serious collector The following is a brief summary on Edward Carl Gaedel (June 8 1925 June 18 1961) was an American with dwarfism who became famous for participating in a Major League Baseball game. Gaedel (some sources say the family name may actually have been Gaedele[1]) gained recognition in the second game of a St. Louis Browns doubleheader on Sunday Aug. 19 1951. Weighing 65 pounds (29.5 kg) and standing 3 feet 7 inches tall Gaedel became the shortest player in the history of the Major Leagues. He made a single plate appearance and was walked with four consecutive balls before being replaced by a pinch-runner at first base. His jersey bearing the uniform number is displayed in the Baseball Hall of Fame. St. Louis Brown s owner Bill Veeck in his 1962 autobiography Veeck -- As in Wreck said of Gaedel He was by golly the best darn midget who ever played big-league ball. He was also the only one. Gaedel was a professional performer belonging to the American Guild of Variety Artists (AGVA). Before his appearance as baseball s most-famous pinch-hitter Gaedel s most notable gig arguably was when he was hired in 1946 by Mercury Records to portray the Mercury man. He sported a winged hat similar to the record label s logo to promote Mercury recordings. Some early Mercury recordings featured a caricature of him as its logo.
