"the commissioner has the ability to void any contract on any baseball team, which is what happened to Eddie Gaedel when he was inserted as a pinch hitter during a St. Louis Browns game after being signed by Bill Veeck, Brown's GM. This contract was void after Gaedel's first game, because the American League president felt that Veeck was inserting a midget to pinch hit in order to make a mockery of the game."
