1968 Topps Game – Jim Wynn
I’m really not too sure how Jim Wynn landed in this 33-card set issued back in 1968. Some of the other players were a little questionable as well, but it seems like each of them had a very solid 1967 campaign.
But, Wynn’s 1967 baseball season was far from spectacular. Sure, he made the All-Star team, but his numbers do not indicate excellence…
The numbers – 148 hits, 29 doubles, 37 home runs, 107 RBI, 109 runs scored, and 16 stolen bases.
On second thought, that is a pretty solid season – maybe I let the .249 batting average and 137 strikeouts (league leader) cloud my judgement…
Here is Wynn’s card:
Progress – 19/33
I didnt know who he was until a few years ago… he had a really nice career. I was able to see him in person at a show earlier this year. He seemed to be really nice.
