A balk is whatever Balkin' Bob Davidson decides is a balk.


After Bill Veeck pinch-hit noted midget Eddie Gaedel, MLB instituted some rule prevent that from happening again. What was that rule and is it still in effect? Does a MLB player have to be over 5 feet to play ball?

How valuable would Eddie Gaedel be as a member of the 25 man squad, realistically? Assume he draws a walk every other PA and gets on base at a .500 clip. That's great. But he would be an easy out running the bases, so he would need to be swapped for a runner. That's burning three players for a single base. Worth it?

How does the Mexican League work? Its under the AAA umbrella, but doesn't have any affiliations with MLB or the other Minor Leagues. The Mexican league does its own thing but gets subsidized by MiLB?
