I would check out the Yankees' '92 roster and do a Google image search on some of the names. If you can take a guess of who it is and go on your suspicion, that might get you your answer quicker. If there's a name you don't recognize, it could very well be that guy.

That would be Eddie Gaedel, the midget that batted once for the St. Louis Browns back in the early 50's, maybe 1952 or '53.  He wore number 1/8 and was walked in his only plate appearance.  The owner who signed him was the legendary Bill Veeck, who was the master of the unusual promotion.  Gaedel was supposed to be a "Brownie."  St. Louis Browns...get it?  Since he walked, he ended up with no at bats, and a batting average of .000.  Not sure of the year, but it was before 1954, because that was the year the Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Orioles.

One name: Steve Dalkowski.  You could talk about him for five minutes or five hours, but he might be the most interesting baseball figure of all time, though he never made the majors.  He was a minor league phenom who played in the 1960s and was rumored to throw 110 mph.  Not surprisingly, he had massive control problems and just when he started to put it all together, he blew out his elbow.  There's a lot of stuff on the Internet about him, but there's one particularly good interview here:  http://www.widewordofsports.com/Articles-016.htm

Cheek (June 13, 1939 - October 9, 2005) was an American broadcaster who announced Major League Baseball games for the Toronto Blue Jays on radio from the team's establishment in 1977 until 2004. Cheek's best-known call was perhaps his description of Joe Carter's dramatic title-clinching home run in Game 6 of the 1993 World Series, when he said, "Touch 'em all, Joe! You'll never hit a bigger home run in your life!" (MP3 download of Tom Cheek calling Carter's home run)
