The Long and the Short of It - Loek Van Mil 7-1 Pitcher and Chris Cates, 5-2 Shorstop

http://www.minorleaguenews.com/baseball/affiliated/a/midwest/snappers/articles2008/00.php

A story about two great athletes who don't let size stand in their way. Loek Van Mil is the tallest player in baseball, a 7'1" pitcher. Chris Cates may well be the shortest shortstop in MiLB at 5'2-1/2" Both play for the Beloit Snappers in the Minnesota Twins organization. Two great features make up this month's cover for SZ, the digital magazine of minor league sports.
