Dodgers Dugout: The 25 greatest Dodgers of all time, No. 25: Jim Gilliam

Hi, and welcome to another edition of Dodgers Dugout. My name is Houston Mitchell, and let's not waste any time into getting to the top-25 countdown.

The 25 greatest Dodgers, No. 25: Jim Gilliam (No first-place votes, 1,759 points)

It seems appropriate that perhaps the most underrated and quiet Dodger slipped into the countdown at No. 25.

Gilliam played for the Dodgers his entire career, from 1953-66 and was Rookie of the Year in 1953 after hitting .278 and leading the NL with 17 triples. He had a keen batting eye, drawing 1,036 walks in his career while striking out 416 times.
