THE MORNING BREW Breaking down the shortest and tallest
After Jeff Withey's block party this weekend, I started feeling a little sensitive about my height, all 5-foot-4 inches of me. So I decided I'd pick out the shortest and tallest across athletics to show that, tall or short, we can all contribute to our team's success.
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
Shortest
Judie Gaedel — 3-foot-7 (65 pounds) Gaedel's first and only plate appearance came in 1951 in the second game of a doubleheader between the St. Louis Brown and the Detroit Tigers. While his appearance was more of a publicity stunt than a strategic move by the manager, Gaedel stepped up to the plate and took four pitches for balls, giving him an on-base percentage of 1.000 — talk about a small strike zone. Gaedel's number was 1/8.
Tallest
Jon Rauch — 6-foot-11 (290 pounds)
Now with the New York Mets, relief pitcher Jon Rauch is the tallest player in MLB history.
He began his career in 2002 with the Chicago White Sox, and he is quite an intimidating figure on the mound for opposing batters.
NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE
Shortest
Jack Shapiro — 5-foot $ \frac{1}{2} $ (119 pounds) Shapiro was a running back for New York University in 1927, and two years later played professional football for the Staten Island Stapletons. In his only professional game, Shapiro played as a blocking back in a 34-0 victory over the Minneapolis Red jackets. For a game as brutal as football, it's pretty impressive that he came out alive.
richard Sligh — 7-foot-0 (300 pounds)
Sligh was a defensive tackle for the Oakland Raiders, who, during his time there, played in eight games. He did not record a tackle, but was listed as a reserve for the team in
Tallest
NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION
Shortest
Superbowl II.
Muggy Bogues — 5-foot-3 (136 pounds) Bogues was the 12th overall pick in the 1987 NBA Draft by the Washington Bullets. Coincidentally, in his first year, Bogues was teammates with one of the tallest NBA players, Manute Bol. Despite his size, he had 39 blocks in his career, 6,858 points, 6,726 assists and 1,369 steals, proving that, for him height was not an obstacle. He last played in 2001 with the Toronto Raptors and is currently the coach for a high school basketball team.
Tallest
Gheorghe Muresan — 7-foot-7 (315 pounds)
While Manute Bol was also 7-foot-7, I gave the edge to Muresan because of his weight. Muresan was named the league's most improved player for the 1995-96 season, when he led the league in field goals made at 58.4 percent, and would top it at 60.4 percent the following season. In the previous year, he averaged 14.5 points per games, 9.6 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks. Also worthy of mention, is China's Sun Mingming, who stands at 7-foot-9 and
370 pounds, but has vet to play in the NBA.
PROFESSIONAL SOCCER
Tallest
Jafal Rashed Al-Kuwari — 5-foot-1 (145 pounds)
Al-Kuwari is a former Qatari soccer player who is now a manager for the Al Sadd club team, the team he played for. Between 2000 and 2002, he made 14 appearances for Qatari national team and scored 14 goals. He retired in 2009.
Kristop Van Hout — 6-foot-10 (233 pounds)
Born in 1987, Hout is a Belgian goalkeeper and the tallest professional soccer player in the world. He currently plays for K.V. Kortrijk.
