Answer 2

Eddie Gaedal was a midget and had one plate appearance. Both of these articles say the commsioners office would not have approved him but he snuck by on a technicality

Soon after this, midgets were banned from baseball
This article talks about a letter veek wrote to the commisioners office

On Aug. 19, 1951, St. Louis Browns owner Bill Veeck sent the 3-foot-7 Gaedel up to the plate as a pinch hitter against the Detroit Tigers. Wearing that tiny No. 1/8, Gaedel drew (of course) a walk on four pitches. The amazing Reliquary (and curator Terry Cannon ) actually has a bunch of Gaedel stuff in its archive, including a letter he wrote in 1959 that calls then-American League president Will Harridge a "little bastard" for banning midgets from the game after that stunt. Talk about the little pot calling the tiny kettle black.

Answer 3

Miguel at 5'1" 130 pounds no professional ball club is even going to give you a sniff. Even if you are a really good player and small (and by small I mean 5' 7 -" 5'9") it is really hard to get a fair shot most of the time unless you just completely stand out talent wise from everyone else. No it is not fair, but that is just the way it is. I myself even quesion if you could get around on a mid 80's fast ball at that size.

Answer 4

No. If you have the skills, can hit, run, and field, you will be welcomed by any team. However, those skills must be at a very high level. Height and weight are not part of the success factor. Good luck.

Chow!!

Answer 5
