Pee Wee Reese did that for Jackie Robinson... By Joe Posnanski THE EMBRACE Cincinnati. Crosley Field, June 21, 1947 (two months after Robinson became the first African-American of the 20th Century to play Major League Baseball). ANNOUNCER RED BARBER: Expressing their displeasure as the Dodgers take the field. Crowd yells vicious racist slurs toward first baseman Jackie Robinson. They are also calling the Dodgers shortstop Pee Wee Reese names. “Traitor!” “Carpetbagger!” “Pee Wee!” one shouts. “How can you play with this black bastard:” Reese finally has heard enough. He walks across the infield to Robinson. ROBINSON: What’s up? REESE: “They can say what they want; we’re here to play baseball.” ROBINSON: “Just a bunch of crackpots still fighting the Civil War.” REESE: Hell, we’d have won that son of a gun if the cornstalks had held out. We just ran out of ammunition. ROBINSON (laughing): “Better luck next time, Pee Wee.” Pee Wee Reese puts his arm around Jackie Robinson. REESE: Ain’t gonna be a next time. All we got is right now. This right here. Know what I mean? Crowd looks shocked and horrified that Reese has his arm around Robinson. REESE: Thank you, Jackie. ROBINSON: What’re you thanking me for? REESE: I’ve got family here from Louisville up there somewhere. I need them to see who I am.” — Scene from the movie “42.” sportsworld.nbcsports.com
