One more bit of Gaedel trivia

Eddie Gaedel met his death after spending the evening at a bowling alley. He was followed home and beaten by unknown assailants, and died from the effects of the beating and/or a subsequent heart attack. The only major league figure to attend his funeral was Bob Cain, the pitcher who had walked him in his only plate appearance.
