Bill Summary
Designates every August 19th as "Eddie Gaedel Day" in Missouri
AI Summary
This bill amends Missouri state law by adding a new section to Chapter 9, designating August 19th as "Eddie Gaedel Day" in honor of a unique baseball player. Eddie Gaedel, who played for the St. Louis Browns on August 19, 1951, is notable for being the shortest player ever in Major League Baseball history. The bill highlights Gaedel's significance to baseball and Missouri sports history, and encourages Missouri citizens to participate in events and activities that celebrate his contributions. By creating this commemorative day, the state legislature aims to recognize an extraordinary and memorable moment in sports history, specifically Gaedel's historic at-bat, which was a notable and somewhat comedic event in baseball lore. The bill serves to officially recognize and remember Gaedel's unique place in baseball history through an annual day of remembrance and celebration.
