Being Captain of the Dodgers meant representing an organization committed to winning
and trying to keep it going. We could have won every year if the breaks had gone right. Pee Wee Reese
I had only played five games in my senior year in high school. I was not large enough. Hell, when I graduated, I was about five foot four and weighed 120 pounds. I didn't go with the Dodgers until spring training of 1940 and I weighed all of 155 pounds soaking wet. |
