Wiley Lee Griggs III (March 24, 1925 - August 23, 1996), nicknamed "Diamond Jim", was an American Negro league infielder in the 1940s and 1950s.
A native of Union Springs, Alabama, Griggs was the brother of fellow Negro leaguer Acie Griggs.[1] Younger brother Wiley attended A. H. Parker High School, and served in the US Army during World War II.[2] He broke into the Negro leagues in 1948 with the Birmingham Black Barons, and was a reserve infielder that year as the team reached the Negro World Series. In 1951, he was selected to represent the Houston Eagles in the East–West All-Star Game. Griggs died in Birmingham, Alabama in 1996 at age 71.
