Pee Wee and Jacckie

Pee Wee Reese was a diminutive shortstop For the old Brooklyn Dodgers when I was a tot With Jackie at second Both are legends Heroes of my childhood and a joy to watch

That was before my time//Which probably is fine//good old days//without this haze//from being stuck in rhyme. MORE COFFEE!!! AMBLE ON JACKSON! Let's see, that would be... Jackie Robinson? (Just a guess — without googling)
