How Tall Were the Shorties?

Have an obsession with reading the bios on the back of the cards. Sometimes I even compare the info of players from one year with another year. Most of the time they�re consistent.

However, for two of the shortest players of the game, Albie Pearson and Freddie Patek, I was bemused by their listed heights. The more egregious of the two has Patek coming in at 5�6� on his rookie card, and shrinking down to 5�4� on his 1975 card (he also loses 5 lbs, but I digress).

Good �ole Albie fares a little better, as he only loses 1� from his 1959 RC (but loses a whopping 19 lbs) by the time 1966 rolls around!

Anyone else find such discrepancies during your years of collecting?
