Career
Reeves appears to have known manager J. L. Wilkinson long before the All Nations team was formed, when they both toured with the Des Moines Hopkins Brothers team, the Bloomer Girls. In the 1912 and 1913 seasons, Reeves often caught for John Donaldson in games where the battery racked up an average of 15 strike outs per game. He also caught for Hall of Fame pitcher José Méndez, and many other well-known pitchers of the day.
Reeves became an auctioneer in 1919, but in the 1920 Census, Reeves listed he was a farmer, renting land in the Graettinger, Iowa area.
He started another baseball team in 1920, calling the team the "Twilight Stars." The team changed their name to the "Wolves" by 1922. Reeves continued to wrestle in the early 1920s.
And he even brought competition to farming, where in 1924 Reeves claimed he would have a higher yield than his neighbor, Mr. O. R. Gardner.
