Sadly, Cub Stricker never played for the Cubs.
3' 7" Eddie Gaedel is the shortest person to play in a major league game, walking in his only plate appearance as part of a Bill Veeck promotion. His great-nephew, Kyle Gaedele, was an outfielder in the Padres organization from 2011-15, reaching AA. Kyle is listed at 6' 3".
