Pedro's Midget Dies

Nelson de la Rosa, once recognized as the world's shortest actor and a ubiquitous good-luck charm for the Boston Red Sox during their victorious 2004 World Series run, died Sunday at a Providence, R.I. hospital, his agent said. He was 38. De la Rosa is survived by his wife, a 9-year-old son, his mother and five siblings. I can not believe that I just wrote that a 28-inch man had a wife and a son.
