1966 Topps #520 Jim Wynn
About Jim Wynn
A sixth-series issue, 1966 Topps #520 lands in the season Wynn's power surge (18 home runs, 62 RBIs in 105 games) was cut short: crashing into the outfield wall at Philadelphia's Connie Mack Stadium chasing a Dick Allen fly ball on August 1, he broke his left wrist and elbow, ending his season early with a .256 average.
James Sherman "Jim" Wynn, nicknamed "Toy Cannon" for generating outsized power from a compact frame, spent eleven of his fifteen major league seasons (1963-1977) with the Houston Colt .45's/Astros before two seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers and a final stretch split among the Atlanta Braves, New York Yankees and Milwaukee Brewers. Converted from shortstop to center field early in his career, he paired plus power with a rare batting eye, leading the majors in walks in 1969. His signature power season came in 1967, when he hit a career-high 37 home runs and drove in 107, earning his first All-Star selection and an 11th-place MVP finish. A three-time All-Star (1967, 1974, 1975), his best all-around year came with the 1974 Dodgers, when he set a career high with 108 RBIs, helped Los Angeles to the National League pennant, and was named The Sporting News Comeback Player of the Year. He is not a Hall of Fame inductee. Career totals: 291 home runs, 964 RBI, 1,105 runs and 225 stolen bases over 1,920 games.
