Eddie Gaedel, who had one plate appearance -- it was a PR stunt, but it counted, it's in the historical record -- and walked on four pitches. His strike zone was minscule, and he was under orders NOT to swing. He trotted to first and was replaced with a pinch-runner. His uniform number was 1/8.Among real players, however, Fred Patek was 5'5". I can't think of anyone shorter.
