Author / researcher Jonathan Fraser Light located these humorous quotes about baseball players and their weights:

"A waist is a terrible thing to mind." - Terry 'Fat Tub of Goo' Forster (to / on David Letterman)

"Foxx is, in his own estimation, 12 pounds overweight at 212, and now he has double chins along with his Double X's." - The Stars and Stripes (1944)

"I only eat two meals a day, I just like snacks." - Willie Horton (responding to a question about his weight gain in Spring Training)

"Watching Fernando Valenzuela force himself into a Los Angeles Dodgers uniform is something like seeing Kate Smith struggling to fit into a pair of Brook Shields designer jeans." - Sports H.G. Reza

The lightest player in Major League history was Eddie Gaedel who only weighed sixty-five pounds and took the field for one game on August 19, 1951. The heaviest player in Major League history was Jumbo Brown who weighed two-hundred ninety-five pounds and played from 1925 through 1941 — until 2005 when Walter Young took that record from him when he debuted at three-hundred fifteen pounds!
