Four midgets wearing space suits landed by helicopter on the baseball diamond at Chicago's Comisky Park on May 26, 1959. They advanced on the White Sox dugout with ray guns before the start of the game with the Cleveland Indians. The stunt was put on by Indians' owner Bill Veeck who once used a midget in the lineup when he was running the St. Louis Browns baseball team. One of the men in space suits was three-foot, seven-inch Eddie Gaedel who pinch-hit for St. Louis in 1951. (Photo by AP Photo)
