Biggest midget in major league history
Bob Fisher, long time Yankees public relations chief, receives the Bill Slocum Award from New York writers. Since 1946 he signed Eddie Gaedel and Harry Brecheen, creating a memorable midget promotion with Eddie Gaedel weighing 65 pounds and standing 3 foot 7. Gaedel’s unlikely major league appearance boosted publicity for Bill Veeck’s Browns, amid an era of bold promotions.
