How about Hall of Fame Yogi Berra? Listed at 5-7, probably five six. Bad body. Of course, he was before the draft. But, today, would he play college ball? Ever get drafted? But, he could hit. And a baseball IQ off the charts.

You have to compare athletes against their contemporaries.  Nutrition changes over time, workout routines change...  They don't smoke in the dugout anymore or drink in the locker room.  But if Yogi Berra was around today, maybe he has better nutrition and workout routine and is 5'-9" and looks and plays a lot like Pudge Rodriguez and ends up in the HOF.
