Eddie Gaedel - Either 1957 or 1958 I met Eddie Gaedel, the midget that Bill Veeck signed to pinch bat for the St. Louis Browns. I was doing advertising layouts at a Chicago Loop office when Gaedel delivered a package. I asked him why he didn't take a swing at a pitch (he walked on four pitches). His reply was a cute gesture and oral response that "they gave me a little bat." Nate B.
