Description: "Despite the pressures of racism and a troubled personal life, Jimmy "The Toy Cannon" Wynn achieved remarkable success as a major league player. In a career that stretched from 1963 to 1977, he slugged 291 home runs, 223 of them in Houston ballparks notoriously unfriendly to power hitters. His number was officially retired by the Astros in 2005"--Provided by publisher.
