Gilliam played for the Dodgers from 1953-66, spanning their time in Brooklyn and Los Angeles, winning National League Rookie of the Year and playing in seven World Series. Gilliam was also a longtime coach with the Dodgers, and the first Black base coach in major league history.
Dittmore's book delves into Gilliam's upbringing, his early life, time in the Negro Leagues, and his decades in baseball. The book features several interviews of former players and teammates of Gilliam, and the Foreword to the book is written by former Dodgers general manager Fred Claire.
