A Louisville native, Reese will forever be revered for his support of his teammate Jackie Robinson. Reese was a great player in his own right. A 10-time All-Star and member of the Hall of Fame, Reese helped lead the Dodgers to seven National League Pennants. After falling short to the Yankees in the World Series five times, Reese helped the Dodgers get over the hump by hitting .296 in the 1955 World Series — capturing his lone title in a thrilling seven-game series.
