The iconic uniform number 1 was officially retired by the Los Angeles Dodgers organization to honor legendary shortstop and Hall of Fame manager Pee Wee Reese. Reese was the inspirational captain and defensive anchor of the storied Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers teams during the 1940s and 1950s, famous for his courageous leadership, stellar partnership with Jackie Robinson, and multiple World Series championships. His number stands permanently enshrined along the stadium fascia alongside other immortal franchise legends.
