Pee Wee Reese

Hall of Fame Plaque Inscription on the Hall of Fame plaque of Harold Henry “Pee Wee” Reese:

Pee Wee Reese was the captain of the great Dodger teams of the 1940s and 1950s. His subtle leadership, competitive fire and professional pride complemented his dependable glove at shortstop, reliable baserunning and clutch-hitting as significant factors in seven Dodger pennants. As much as anyone, he was instrumental in easing the acceptance of Jackie Robinson as baseball’s first black ballplayer.
