Iconic 1951 photograph of midget Eddie Gaedel of the St. Louis Browns as he takes ball four in his lone at bat in the major leagues. One of the more well known images in all of baseball history. Issued by the Associated Press and with a newspaper article used when it was published glued on the back. This is a bold and beautiful example from the original negative (rare) and is a 1976 re-strike which is still about 40 years old!
