  In a 1942 story "You Could Look It Up" by James Thurber a midget named
Pearl du Monville grounded out to the second baseman on a 3-0 pitch with 
two out top of the ninth. 
  It was some time later ( early 1950's ) that Bill Veeck, then owner of
the St. Louis Browns, sent a midget to bat against Detroit. He walked.
