Eugene Rudolph Rye [Half-Pint] (November 15, 1906 – January 21, 1980) was a utility player in Major League Baseball who played briefly for the Boston Red Sox during the {{by|1931}} season. Listed at 5'6", 165 lb., Rye batted left-handed and threw right-handed. His birth name was Eugene Rudolph Mercantelli, the son of Amedeo Menotti Mercantelli (1866-1950) and Daria "Dora" Frediani (1867-1920)^[1]. He was born in Chicago, Illinois. Rye married Julia Swentko on October 28, 1950.^[1]

Mostly used as a pinch-hitter by Boston, Rye also shared duties at left field with Al Van Camp and Jack Rothrock. In a 17-game career, he posted a .179 batting average (7-for-39) with three runs and one RBI without extrabases. In 10 outfield appearances, he collected 10 outs and committed an error for a .944 fielding percentage.

Rye hit three home runs in one inning in 1930 for the Waco Cubs of the Texas League.^[2] The third home run is considered one of the greatest non-MLB home runs, and the greatest minor league baseball home run, of all time.^[3] When Rye was 29 years old he finished his professional baseball career after his 1936 season.^[1]

Rye died at the age of 73 in Park Ridge, Illinois.
