There's been a lot of speculation about Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia's height.
Pedroia is officially listed by Major League Baseball as 5 foot 9, 180 pounds.
When he stands next to David Ortiz (6'4, 280 lbs) he looks more like a little guy.
Well check out the supplied article photo.
Peter Schiller of Baseball Reflections was able to meet the 2008 American League Most Valuable Player last Saturday at the Salem 5 in North Andover and got his picture taken along with five of his six kids.
Schiller informed me that he stands at 5'5 and 3/4 of an inch. And as you can see from the photo, Pedroia is not much taller.
It looks like he can't be taller than 5'7, but looks as if he's only 5'6-5'6 1/2.
As for weight, well, we'll never exactly know about that one.
Thanks to Peter for supplying the photo!
