Did You Know?

Pee Wee Reese was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1984.

Contrary to popular belief, the nickname "Pee Wee" was given to him during his marble playing days, not due to his small stature.

Pee Wee was a Louisville city marbles champion at age 12.

Pee Wee spent three years in the Navy during World War II (1943-1945).

Reese finished in the top-10 in MVP balloting eight times (1946-1949, 1952, 1954-1956).

After his playing days, Reese became a broadcaster with CBS, NBC and the Cincinnati Reds, and later worked for Hillerich & Bradsby (makers of Louisville Slugger baseball bats).
