This miniature plaque was presented to Pee Wee Reese in 1999 by the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum to commemorate Reese's 1984 induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The original Hall of Fame plaques that honor players upon induction hang in the Baseball Hall of Fame Gallery in Cooperstown.This is the plaque Pee Wee Reese was awarded by baseball’s Hall of Fame after his induction day. An opportunity to own something of such high provenance, not available to the public is few and far between. A piece with such meaning and historical significance is even more coveted. Especially from such an idolized player as Pee Wee Reese. .75” thick wooden plaque holds stone painted bronze with sculpture of Pee Wee Reese with raised lettering painted gold which reads “Harold Henry ‘Pee Wee’ Reese Brooklyn N.L. 1940-1957 Los Angeles N.L. 1958. Shortstop and Captain of great Dodger teams of 1940’s and 50’s. Intangible qualities of subtle leadership on and off field, competitive fire and professional pride complemented dependable glove, reliable base-running and clutch-hitting as significant factors in 7 Dodger pennants. Instrumental in easing acceptance of Jackie Robinson as baseball’s first black performer. 1984 NBHOF”. 6.25x8.5”. Very heavy. LOA from Reese family member.
