Eddie Gaedel's 1951 plate appearance with Browns
Eddie Gaedel, a 3 foot 7 inch 65 pound pinch-hitter for the St. Louis Browns, draws four pitches from Detroit pitcher Bob Cain and is replaced. The stunt, by Bill Veeck, was legal then but later banned as part of baseball history. Sergei Bubka claimed his fourth straight pole vault world title in Stuttgart in 1993. Roger Federer captured his 50th tourney win at the W S Financial Masters in 2007 by defeating James Blake 6 1 6 4.
