    Where on earth did this surface, Pete? Can it really be the genuine article and not a gag? It's not shown to scale!

      Alright Pete -- who gave you access to the "Disgusting, Disturbing, and Just Plain Ridiculous" wing of the HOF?

          Why would Gaedel even have bothered with a jock strap, when all he was going to do was stand at the plate and expect to walk?

            1.) I can tell you that is NOT in the HOF (I was there)
            2.) I'm not sure what to think of this.

              No one ever claimed this stuff was in the Hall of Fame (certainly, not I). Feel free to feel ANYWAY you want about this. This stuff was found at a legit auction website.

                Did I say that I said that YOU said that it was in the HOF? Hmmm... no.

                You're right, I will think what I want about this jockstrap thread.

                  Too bad Bill Veeck isn't still around to ask. But as I recall from Veeck as in Wreck, Eddie wanted to swing the bat! Veeck had to threaten to shoot him (a bit of Bill wasn't joking). So I can believe that Eddie really suited up the whole way.

                    All of this "HOF" stuff posted the past few days reminds me of something the Onion would create.

                    I just don't buy the jackstrap thing at all... On top of that, ACK!

                        Did Gaedel ever do laundry?
