WORLD'S SMALLEST MAN AND RED SOX LUCKY CHARM HAS DIED AT 38
Nelson de la Rosa, the 2-foot-4 Dominican actor and notorious
good-luck charm for the Boston Red Sox during their 2004 World
Series run, died of unknown causes. De la Rosa, believed to be
one of the world's smallest men became internationally known
when he appeared alongside actor Marlon Brando in the 1996
film, "The Island of Dr. Moreau." This role is said to be
the inspiration for the Austin Powers movie character,
"Mini Me" After the baseball fan was introduced to Boston
pitcher Pedro Martinez the two Dominicans became friends, and
became a regular presence in the team's clubhouse in the
playoffs of the 2004 season, in which the Red Sox won their
first World Series in 86 years. It is alleged he could be
delivered back to the Dominican Republic, allegedly to be
displayed in a museum.

Wyatt was a television pioneer, serving as host of the "Bell
