I have a Pee Wee Reese story. My wife's grandfather was a long time employee and director for Hillerich & Bradsby, makers of the Louisville Slugger bats. He was their principle contact with all MLB players who used their bats. That included Ruth and Cobb. He and Cobb became good friends. When he died his pallbearers included Cobb, Casey Stengel, Joe McCarthy, Mr Reese and J Taylor Spinks of the Sporting News

Years later after he retired Reese moved to Louisville nd became H&B's main PR and front man. We lived in St Louis and the Cardinals were in the World Series in 82, 85 and 87. In each of those years we met with Mr. Reese in St Louis to receive Worlds Series tickets from H&B since my wife and her family were long tome stockholders

When Reese died he was living in the house below in Louisville. My wife's brother lives next store. I took this picture last year. While the glove surely did not belong to him, it was a nice coincidence that it happened to be there on the lawn at the time.

I was born in St Louis in 1950 and was there until 1985. The Cardinals were really good in the 60s but were horrible in the 50s. My Dad would take me to games and for some reason he despised Mizzel. Not sure why. Ironically we must have seen him pitch in person in at least 3 games. He always lost. But elected to Congress in his post baseball life

I love this story so much. And great photo. Yesterday’s players would not believe the lifestyles of today’s.

Hal.
I was hoping the thread about tape/tape residue removal would have come up with something but I guess it is there for good? A fairly nice card otherwise.
