Playing career, in brief: Wynn was known as the "Toy Cannon" because he was a smaller guy with a lot of power. His stats look like a 2020's player: low batting average but high HR, BB and K totals. He did have surprising speed for a guy known as a slugger. Overall in 15 years for the Astros, Dodgers, Braves, Yankees and Brewers, Wynn hit .250 with 291 HR, 964 RBI and 225 SB. He walked 1,224 times (leading the NL twice) and struck out 1,427 times (leading the NL once).
Post-playing career, in brief: After his career he was an Astros announcer. He died in 2020.
My collection: I have 28 of his cards, from 1964 to 1977. I would be interested in trading for 1977 Burger King Yankees #20.
