This presents an interesting case; Cates had a nice college career, but nothing spectacular, and as a pro he never got past AA ball. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=cates-001chr As of the 2013 season he is a volunteer assistant at Florida State http://www.seminoles.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/chris_cates_823268.html, generally the first step on the way to a coaching career. Nevertheless, he received quite a bit of coverage, mostly because he was the shortest player in baseball while he was playing, and one of the shortest ever (excepting Eddie Gaedel, of course). http://articles.courant.com/2010-06-01/sports/hc-rock-cats-chris-cates-0601-20100531_1_trevor-plouffe-rock-cats-player-in-professional-baseball. While the reason may seem a bit silly, he does pass
