Storytelling | Pee Wee Reese |
|
|
Harold Henry Reese
got his famous nickname Pee Wee from a marble he used when he was a boy.
The name fit because he did turn out to be a man of modest stature, but
by every measure you could apply to an athlete - teamwork, leadership,
determination, winning, grace under pressure - Pee Wee Reese was a giant.
Inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame
in Cooperstown, NY in 1984, his plaque there also records the powerful
example he set when Jackie Robinson joined the Dodgers in 1947 as the
major leagues' first black player. Reese's acceptance and support of Robinson
were instrumental in breaking down baseball's color barrier.
Dick Usher of Benton portrayed Reese
in a recent Kentucky Humanities Council Chautauqua performance at Fohs
Hall.
