  1. The first is of course FY's head atop Eddie Gaedel's body. Gaedel was a midget instead of a dwarf, so the proportions are different.

    Sorry, there's no such thing as midget vs dwarf. Midget is just an expression made up by P T Barnum. "Little People" - self-described - all have dwarfism. Some little people are more conventionally proportioned than others. And of course FY is a giant among his kind!

    Bring your glasses for the laser show?

  7. Very enjoyable.

    Yes, it was. Especially for its total eschewal of the word "scrappy."

    Yes! I wish ESPN Magazine did more stories I wanted to read, b/c the writing is really a cut above.
