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?

Well, Jose Altuve was an All-Star, so clearly no.

But actually, for a serious answer, as I understand it, the rule is that MLB has to approve all contracts before any player can play in a game, so while there is not an actual rule against extremely short people, any gimmick contracts would not get approved.
