Lot 101. Original Wire Photos of Jim Gilliam - N.L. Rookie of the Year, Minor League MVP. A favorite among Brooklyn fans, Gilliam followed Jackie Robinson, Don Newcombe and Joe Black as Dodgers’ African-American players who captured Rookie of the Year honors. Gilliam was selected by the Baseball Writers Association in 1953. A 7” x 9” “INP Soundphoto” dated Dec. 12, 1953, shows Gilliam kneeling with a bat and announces the award. Three small edge tears; strong photo. A 4” x 9” AP wirephoto dated Sept. 3, 1952, pictures Gilliam as the Most Valuable Player of the International League. Vg, looks better. Both photos are from the archives of the San Fran- cisco Examiner.
