Reece Tatum. Reece Goose Tatum, born May 3rd, 1921 in El Dorado, AR, was a Negro League baseball player from 1938-1948, as well as a Hall of Fame basketball player with the Harlem Globetrotters. Biography. A lanky, goofy character, Reece Tatum was every bit an entertainer as he was a natural athlete. Known to fans by his nickname Goose, Tatum began his professional career in the later 1930s with the Louisville Black Colonels as a teenager.
He made the West team in the first 1947 East-West Game and went 2 for 4 with a run from the 7th slot of the order in a 5-2 win, playing the whole game at first base. Despite his efforts, he was replaced by Bob Boyd for the second game. Goose went 2 for 11 against the Bob Feller and Ewell Blackwell All-Stars in 1947. His two-run single off Jesse Flores on October 23rd in the bottom of the 13th gave the Negro Leaguers a win. Tatum had appendicitis in 1948 and fell to .226. He ended his career with the Clowns the next year, but would continue playing for lesser black teams, joining up with Nathaniel Clifton, a fellow Harlem Globetrotter. Tatum once stabbed Hilton Smith with a screwdriver.
