1978 National League Champions Pendant. Inscribed "Edwina Gilliam" on the back, this pendant represents Jim Gilliam's last Championship season -- and the National League Championship series that the Dodgers won the day before his unexpected death. Gilliam suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on September 15 and went into a coma following surgery. The Dodgers dedicated their playoffs to Gilliam and, on his death October 8, 1978, dedicated their World Series games to him as well as retiring number 19 (one of only ten Dodger numbers retired).
The Dodger logo in gold on a blue stone with a diamond accent adorns this gold pendant.
Estimated Value $600 - 700.
From the Estate of James "Junior" Gilliam.
