1954 Topps #35, Junior Gilliam ⭐ MLB Pioneer
I love the design of 1954 Topps baseball cards. This particular card, #35, is extraordinary and portrays two stunning images of the first true gentleman of baseball's golden era of the 1950's.
Gilliam started out in the Negro Leagues for the Baltimore Elite (pronounced ee-Light) before signing with the Dodgers.
He spent his entire MLB career playing and coaching with the Dodgers.
He played on 4 Dodgers World Champion teams and played on 7 pennant winners.
