Eddie Gaedel - 1959
In another of Bill Veeck's publicity stunts, 3-foot-7 Eddie Gaedel returns to a major league field along with three other little people. Arriving by helicopter and dressed as Martians, the quartet shake hands with Nellie Fox and Luis Aparicio near second base on Comiskey Park's infield and give them toy ray guns to help Fox and Aparicio "in their struggle with giant earthlings."
