Harold “Pee Wee” Reese

Pee Wee Reese’s Childhood Medals

Harold “Pee Wee” Reese was the Hall of Fame shortstop and captain of the storied Brooklyn Dodger teams of the 1940s and 50s. He gained his nickname of Pee Wee
because of his youthful prowess at marbles. He was good at many other sports as a child (1930-37) growing up in Louisville, Kentucky, as is evidenced by this array of medals he won, in baseball, basketball, tennis, track, volleyball, roller skating, handicrafts and horseshoes.
