Eddie Gaedel stood at a mere 3'7" tall and weighed only 65 pounds. No other player in MLB history comes even close to those marks.

On August 19, 1951 the St. Louis Browns sent Gaedel to the batter's box in a publicity stunt during the second game of a doubleheader. Gaedel had a good eye, taking a four-pitch walk before trotting down to first base.

Gaedel's jersey came with the number "1/8" on the back, and it's currently on display at the Baseball Hall of Fame.
