X es el más pequeño, pero no mucho.

of course its little nicky punto! who could be shorter than him???

LNP es pequeño. Pero X es pequeñisimo! Es microscopico! X es el mas pequeño.

Es facil - "X" es mas pequeno pero LNP es mas hermoso en mi opinion.

O es Carlos un gigante y no una persona normal?

Podía ser posible

hey guys, I was trying to get some ideas for halloween so I searched some costume websites.

click on my name...

isn't that what they made sideshow wear? like that exact outfit?
now we know where our boys shop.

no hablo Español!

ich denke, daß Herr Eckstein am kleinsten ist. aber Herr Punto ist netter.

LNP est le plus petit et le plus meilleur!!!!

hay un gato en mis pantalones.

David Eckstein is the smallest man in professional baseball.

David Eckstein is a hobbit. Mr. Met's head is bigger than David Epstein.

Ivan Rodriguez esto en muchos de dolor.

hmm... Height-wise it could be a toss-up - I'm really not sure.

But I do have to say that I think that our little LNP has the advantage of musculature on Eckstein though. Nicky's legs are like tree trunks and he definitely has junk in the trunk! *wiggles eyebrows*

Eckstein is just little all the way around - short and skinny.

I thought this was already discussed.
punto 5'9
eckstein 5'7

i could benchlift eckstein.

and nicky punto isn't of abnormally short height. there are plenty of others out there in the MLB at 5'9. marcus giles, brian roberts, pudge, tejada, ichiro, etc...
Ok those guys are all pretty little, but I think eckstein stands alone at 5'7, if he even is at least 5'7 which I doubt. he's like a good two heads shorter than pujols.

It isn't just about height. LNP 比较小一点

LNP is, of course, Little Nicky Punto. Must be more little than a guy named David.

...Oh wait, is he the guy that slayeth Carlos (Goliath) Beltran.

I fear the question stands...

I ancay peaksay iglatinpay.

Oh god, another World Series with David Eckstein.

LNP esta mas pequeno only when half-eaten, and that's usually for mere milliseconds since he is such a quick snack.

Are the Batkitties in charge of making sure the Piranhtas aren't eaten?

Ecks can go where others can't - like Tiny Superhero does -That's why Ecks is on so many WS rosters. ;)

My only question is, "Does X mind his *shoes* getting dirty?" It looks as though X is also carefree about dirt on the pants.

Did someone airbrush the dirt off Carlos' pants? They seem somewhat soil-free...

Aha! The Gambler removed it! THAT's what was on the thumb.

All I can say is, when you're standing in the batter's box and you're shorter than Mauer is in his crouch...

" Please note, image basically to scale. "

basically. heh.

I'll have to echo Babs, here. LNP is not as small as Eckstein.

are you really saying batkitty is bigger than Eckstein?

are you sure?

ok long day, I should have said smaller, only makes sense that way

sorry

Whitey Ford, who won 704 games for the Yankees was only 3 feet tall.

supposedly Eckstein rounds up to 5'7" --- there was an entertaining piece years ago by Jim Caple on the subject of the smaller ballplayer:

http://espn.go.com/mlb/columns/caple_jim/1411282.html

The group of middle aged ladies seated along the first base line last night were the Carpenter aunts.

Chone Figgins is actually the smallest man in baseball. I looked it up. Seriously, I did a lot of research. But Eckstein is smaller and ALMOST as cute as my boyfriend.

Al,

I don't get your joke, even when you repeated it. Whitey's biography lists him as 5'10". Please elaborate.

- Kurtis

You know, I think David Eckstein actually tries to make himself look even smaller by wearing clothes that are too large. His pants aren't bad, but everything from the waist up seems about two sizes too big. I think he is trying to make himself more amazing than he really is.

David Eckstein, you may be playing in the World Series right now, but you are NOT A TINY SUPERHERO. You are NOT LNP, so please start wearing a uniform that fits, because WE ARE NOT FOOLED!

I'm just imagining an All Pequeno team with bfLNP, X and Figgins...Wagner would totally be the closer...

But since it's all about the Tigers/Cards right now...Eddie Gaedel, anyone?

It was an accidental repetetion,Kurtis, and it was merely hyperbole; he also did not win 704 games. Yo-Yo Davalillo at 5:3, 140 was the smallest player I could find, and he played for the pre-Twin Senators in 1953, hit .293, with one extra base hit, broke his leg, and never played again.Hack Wilson, who hit 56 homers one year for the Cubs was 5:6.,but weighed 3oo lbs.

part of the problem with determining all of this is the variance between 'baseball height' and 'real height'. For example, Chone Figgins ranges from 5'7" to 5'9" ...

Yes, Eddie Gaedel; "One-day Eddie", all 3' 7" of him: http://espn.go.com/mlb/s/2001/0816/1240553.html

With a strike zone even smaller than Joe Brinkman's...

Eh, he's still bigger in stature than LNP.

Al, the shortest person to play MLB was Eddie Gaedel, who was 3'7". He had one at bat and drew a walk. If you sense a Veeck behind that stunt, you are correct. Click my name for the story.

No wonder Eckstein wanted to play in St Louis. He wanted to pay homage to the archetypal dimunitive ballplayer.

Kurtis, I was not counting publicity stunt Veeckisms in my search. Davilillo was a real player, who played multiple games without having to worry about a sniper in the crowd ready to take him out if he swung at a pitch. He was a real candidate for a starting job in '54 if he had not broken his leg. Now, he is remembered as Vic Davilillo's "little" brother.

"Es facil - "X" es mas pequeno pero LNP es mas hermoso en mi opinion."

Wonder Woman,

I TOTALLY agree. X es muy pequeno. He's only two inches taller than I am!

ok i think that some of u are ruining the fun of it. this is just to pick on little nicky punto. not to say well other people are shorter and that he isnt shorter than most. its just for us to laugh at not for us to be like well acually... so just shut up!

who could be shorter than LNP!?!?! besides my sister! because she has little man syndrome!!
