Today is the 58th anniversary of when St. Louis Browns owner Bill Veeck sent 3-foot-7 Eddie Gaedel, a circus midget, to pinch-hit for Frank Saucier. Right after that, the commissioner’s office effectively barred the player by establishing a minimum height for the start of the strike zone on a hitter.
So, can someone please explain to me how, today, Dustin Pedroia is allowed to bat for the Boston Red Sox?
