Reese boycotted Robinson?[edit]

I was surprised to read that Pee Wee Reese initially supported a boycott of Jackie Robinson. There is no citation for this assertion and no statement to this effect on Reese's Wikipedia entry. I rewatched Ken Burns' Baseball episode about the 1940s, and it is stated there that Reese refused to sign an anti-Robinson petition. I don't feel comfortable altering the entry on my own understanding, so I ask the authors to check their sources and, if appropriate, make that correction. 72.227.164.172 (talk) 23:14, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is a complete surprise to me, as the wording herein implies that Reese initially was against Robinson based on the latter's race, rather than Robinson possibly supplanting him at him at shortstop, as noted in the Reese article. Can anyone clarify this? Hushpuckena (talk) 15:59, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
