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.
