	Pee Wee Reese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reese, the captain of the team, went over to Robinson and put his arm around his shoulder in a gesture of support which silenced the crowd.
		The gesture was especially telling because Reese was born and raised in then-segregated Louisville, Kentucky.
		When Pee Wee reached out to Jackie, all of us in the Negro League smiled and said it was the first time that a White guy had accepted us.

	Passion: Pee Wee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Harold ("Pee Wee") Henry Reese, who died of cancer August 14, 1999 at the age of 81, was its shortstop and captain and wore No. 1.
		The Dodgers were larger than life and Pee Wee personified this quality more than anyone because his nickname, which he acquired by winning a pee-wee marble tournament as a youth in Kentucky, was never derisive because he was so clearly a man of stature despite his 5-foot-9-inch height.
		Pee Wee’s Yankee adversary at shortstop was Phil Rizzuto and their records were close, but Rizzuto never had the leadership qualities that Reese did.

	Walter O'Malley : Dodger History : Hall of Famers : Players : Pee Wee Reese
		The captain of the Dodgers, Harold “Pee Wee” Reese was one of the stellar performers for 16 seasons at shortstop.
		Although many believe that Reese was named “Pee Wee” because he was small in stature (5’9”), the real fact was because he was a marbles champion in his native Louisville, KY (marbles were known as pee wees there) when he was 11 years old.
		It was Reese, as a Southerner, whose acceptance of Jackie Robinson, the first African-American player in the major leagues in 1947, which spoke volumes in breaking down the color barrier.

		Harold Henry Reese was born on July 23, 1918, on a farm in Ekron, Ky., and moved to Louisville with his family as a child.

		Reese broke into the major leagues in 1940 and displaced Dodgers regular Leo Durocher, beginning a 16-year tenure at shortstop interrupted by a three-year stint in the Navy during World War II.

		Pee Wee Reese, who many called the greatest Dodger ever, earned his nickname Pee Wee not because he was small (5 foot 9, 175 pounds), but because he was a young champion marbles shooter.
		Reese, "The Captain" of the old Brooklyn Dodgers when club owner Branch Rickey decided to break baseball’s color barrier by bringing Jackie Robinson to the major leagues, was so respected by his teammates that he could have caused chaos had he not stopped a petition by Brooklyn players to keep Robinson off their team.
		Pee Wee didn’t want accolades, but he had an ego and he knew that he was an exceptional athlete, and had been blessed with attributes far more important than size.
