• Another Case Where Rules Don’t Apply To Red Sox

    Posted by on August 19th, 2009 · Comments (4)

    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?

      Poor Wolf Boy never gets a break! I wonder who is the next on the list of MLB short guys who get on that joke list? Lincecum….and don’t forget the Mango Tree Man himself, Pedro.
