P*e Wee Reese got his name from a boy's game. As a kid in Kentucky, Harold Reese was a crack marble shooter — a runner-up in a newspaper-sponsored marbles tournament — and "P*e Wee" stuck for the rest of his life. The name was small. The man never was. Reese was the captain of the Brooklyn Dodgers, the shortstop who steadied the club through its hardest years. In 1947, when Jackie Robinson broke baseball's color line and the abuse rained down, it was Reese — a son of Kentucky — who walked over and put his arm around him in front of a hostile crowd. He gave three seasons to the Navy in World War II, came home, and made ten All-Star teams. And in 1955, the captain finally got his ring, leading Brooklyn past the Yankees at last. 2,170 hits, a Hall of Fame plaque in 1984 — and a nickname from a marbles game that Brooklyn never forgot. *eWeeReese

April 17, 1953, Griffith Stadium, Washington. Mickey Mantle, 21 years old, faces Senators lefty Chuck Stobbs — and launches a ball clean out of the ballpark, over the bleachers, and into a backyard blocks away.

Yankees publicist Red Patterson paced it off himself: 565 feet. The first ball ever hit out of Griffith Stadium — and the blast that gave baseball the phrase "tape-measure home run."

Sound on — the original tape-measure story is in the reel. What is the longest home run you have ever seen with your own eyes? ⚾

Sandy Koufax shows you the grip — the fastball that rose and the curveball that fell off the table. The numbers still stagger: 165 wins against 87 losses, a 2.76 ERA, 2,396 strikeouts, three Cy Young Awards, the 1963 National League MVP, four no-hitters and a perfect game. And then, at 30 years old and at the very peak of his powers, he walked away — because his left elbow could not take one more season. For five years, Sandy Koufax was simply the most dominant pitcher alive. This morning the Store begins its profile series: a legend at 9:00, every day. Who is the greatest left-hander you ever saw? ⚾

Milwaukee just won the World Series — so this morning, we honor the Brewer who started it all. Robin Yount debuted April 5, 1974, at 18 years old, hit a game-winning home run in his sixth game, and is still the last 18-year-old ever to homer in the majors. Twenty seasons, all in Milwaukee — 3,142 hits, two MVP awards, and the Hall of Fame. Sound on for The Kid. Who is your favorite Brewer of all time? ⚾

120 years after his debut, Eddie Collins still feels like one of those ghosts of early baseball — the kind you meet only through caramel cards, stolen bases, and stories whispered across generations.

The 1952 Berk Ross Willie Mays card feels like a doorway back to his electric 1951 rookie season — a young kid in New York turning raw talent into legend. Even though the card was issued in ’52, the image behind it captures that first spark, the moment baseball realized Mays wasn’t just good… he was different. A PSA 9 example — the finest known — brought $93,000 at auction, proving that some stories never lose their shine.
