1953 Topps #258, Jim Gilliam. ❤#19❤
Jim Gilliam is the only Dodger whose jersey number is retired and is not in the MLB HOF.
While not a Hall-of-Famer, Gilliam was a clutch performer who had a fine career, which included membership, as either a player or coach, on ten Dodger pennant winners (seven as a player), and four World Series championships. Gilliam was also highly regarded throughout the major leagues for his many outstanding personal qualities, including integrity, temperament, and sportsmanship.

He died on October 8, at age 49, one day after the Dodgers clinched their tenth pennant while he was a member of the team. His uniform #19 was retired by the Dodgers two days later.

Happy Wednesday!🌞
Have a great day!👊
