A 10-time all-star and member of seven Dodgers NL Pennant winning teams as well as the 1955 World Series champions, Reese is also perhaps best remembered as a teammate of Jackie Robinson’s the pair played together from Robinson’s breakthrough season in 1947 until Robinson’s final season of 1956 and their friendship and camaraderie is celebrated with a statue in front of the minor league Brooklyn Cyclones ballpark in Brooklyn, New York. The golf bag has “Pee Wee Reese,” printed on its exterior zipper pouch and a 1994 Hall of Fame Golf Classic tag containing Reese’s name and the “May 25, 1994 Engineers Country Club Roslyn Harbor, LI, New York” date and tournament location. Two pair of TPS golf gloves, four golf balls and a bag of tees are located in the lower zipper compartments with 10 balls and an umbrella in the exterior pouch.
