Both Reese and Murphy entered the majors in 1940, and will be remembered for confronting racial discrimination. Murphy is perhaps best-known for his powerful dissent in Korematsu v. United States (1944), where he called the relocation of Japanese-Americans as entering into “the ugly abyss of racism.” Reese, the Dodgers’ team captain in 1947, stopped practice in Cincinnati to confront a jeering, hateful crowd opposed to the appearance of Jackie Robinson. Pee Wee simply walked over to Robinson and put his arm around his shoulders. Robinson later remembered that he never again felt alone on a baseball field.
