Harold Pee Wee Reese played 16 seasons at shortstop for the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers from 1940-42 and 1946-58 and was a member of seven Brooklyn pennant-winning teams, including the World Championship club of 1955. A 10-time National League All-Star, Reese appeared in more games at shortstop, 2,014, than any player in franchise history and was also the Dodgers' all-time leader in runs scored, 1,338, and walks, 1,210. His leadership qualities were recognized by Manager Walter Alston, who appointed "The Little Colonel" as team captain. Reese was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1984.
