Default Miller Huggins was no giant...
This photo is from cnn.com. Miller Huggins appears to be half the size of Babe and Lou!

Makes you remember how big Lou was! Guy was a jacked up man. Big as babe, but all country strong.

I read the same article. If I recall correctly, one of the last photos in the bunch is labeled "Babe Ruth 1950"... Didn't he die in '48??

Well...Lou was only 6 ft high but he weight 14 lb when he was born. I guess Huggins was just small

Baseball reference says that Huggins was 5'6'', Gehrig was 6'0" and Ruth 6'2".
But in that picture, Huggins looks like he's under 5'.
