1968 Topps #260 Jim Wynn
About Jim Wynn
Wynn appears twice in 1968 Topps: card #5, a series-1 National League Home Run Leaders subset shared with Hank Aaron, Ron Santo and Willie McCovey, reflecting Wynn's runner-up finish in the 1967 home run race behind Aaron; and card #260, a series-3 solo issue for a 1968 season in which Wynn hit .269 with 26 home runs and 67 RBIs for Houston during the era's historic scoring drought.
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.
