 CHAR: When Tom Arnold (I) (qv) mentions a midget who "played for  the White Sox", he misidentifies the team. He is referring to Eddie  Gaedel, a 37" man who played in one game for the St. Louis Browns  (not the White Sox) in 1951. Possibly the source of his confusion is  that the Browns were owned at the time by Bill Veeck (qv), who  later owned the White Sox.
