Jimmy Wynn
Houston Astros former player

Jimmy Wynn spent the first 11 years of his 15-year Major League career with the Houston franchise from 1963-1973, the first two as a member of the Colt .45's. Despite his small frame (5'9"), Wynn boasted enormous power and a strong throwing arm, earning him the nickname "The Toy Cannon." He ranks among the Top 10 in almost every significant Astros career hitting category and led the franchise in hits (1,291), home runs (223), and RBI (719) when he left the club after the 1973 season.

In 1967, the slugging center fielder finished second in the National League in home runs (37) while posting 107 RBI. He also became the first Astros to hit three home runs in a game. As a member of the 1974 Dodgers, Wynn smashed 32 home runs with 108 RBI, finishing in fifth place for the National League Most Valuable Player Award.

Wynn remains an active member of the Houston community and works closely with the Astros Community Affairs Department and Astros in Action Foundation. His number, 24, was officially retired on June 25, 2005
