He is in a Ted conference : "Jim Gilliam: The Internet is My Religion"
I don't know if I have the right to insert a link to youtube, so I don't.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.225.89.48 (talk) 18:42, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I've deleted the anecdote about the LA Times story. Looking into it a bit, I find that Gilliam only hit three triples in his career at Dodger Stadium, and two of those were in the spring rather than during football season. The other was on August 30, 1963 against the Giants, which was a Friday game. His four triples in 1965 were all hit on the road - one was in July, and two were on August/September weeknights. It's possible that it would be the one he hit on September 5 (a Sunday) at Houston, but the Rams season didn't begin until two weeks later. The Rams had home games on September 25 and October 3, but Gilliam doesn't appear to have done anything remarkable in those games; the Rams only had a road game during the 1965 World Series, so that can't be it either. Maybe it was a preseason NFL game; I'll check that later, but for now I'm deleting the remark. MisfitToys (talk) 00:14, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: File:Jim Gilliam.png Nominated for Deletion

message: If anyone who's willing to edit your articles - based on past experience, I'm not - would like to vet and update this: the Metro Council of Nashville-Davidson County voted 5/19/15 to rename a section of Jackson Street "Junior Gilliam Way" in this Dodger great's honor. That's the required third passage, so it will happen. The section contains the street address of the new stadium of the Nashville Sounds, who requested the change and have also asked that their street number be designated as 19 - Junior's uniform number. As your article currently states, he was from Nashville. While you're editing the article, my advice would be to change the title to Junior Gilliam. Failing that, James Gilliam. His first name was indeed James, but I have never in my life heard anyone refer to him as - or even heard that anyone ever referred to him as - Jim. As you can see from a comment above, Jim Gilliam is at best confusing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.96.212 (talk) 23:42, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Regarding Gilliam's name, the article's title is "Jim Gilliam" because that's how he's known in all the baseball encyclopedias and reference sites. I grew up listening to Dodgers games in the 1960s, and Gilliam was usually referred to back then as "Junior," but checking a couple of old yearbooks and scorecards that I've held on to, he was always officially listed as "Jim" on their roster. One old yearbook shows his autograph, which he signed as "Jim Gilliam." BRMo (talk) 04:42, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
