Eddie Gaedel
Eddie Gaedel gained immortality in the second game of a St. Louis Browns doubleheader on Sunday, August 19, 1951. Weighing 65 pounds, and standing 3 feet 7 inches tall, he became the shortest player in the history of the major leagues.

His jersey, bearing the uniform number “⅛”, is displayed in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
