Harold "Pee Wee" Reese may have been the most beloved Brooklyn
Dodgers player of all time. During a 16-year career in the 1940s
and 1950s, he delivered timely hits, made countless acrobatic
defensive plays at shortstop, and stole hundreds of bases for clubs
that won seven pennants and, in 1955, finally overcame the Yankees
to win the World Series. Reese may be best remembered, however, for
a gesture of solidarity. The year and the location vary with the
telling, but witnesses agree on this crucial detail: During one of
Jackie Robinson's early tours of the National League, as catcalls
and racial taunts rained down on him, the Southern-born Reese
draped an arm across the infielder's shoulder and stood alongside
him, facing the crowd. In this first full-length biography of
Reese, author Glen Sparks digs into Hall of Famer's life and
career, his leadership both on and off the field, and the reasons
that Brooklyn fans fell in love with the Boys of Summer.
