1970 60 Jim Wynn

The statement on the back that Wynn holds "virtually all the Astros' club records" is not exactly true and is kind of a slight to Joe Morgan, Rusty Staub and Sonny Jackson (as the back of 1970 card # 448 will show). But Wynn's numbers were certainly impressive.
Wynn played on the Oklahoma City 89ers for part of 1964. The 89ers won the PCL championship the year before and the year after Wynn played for them. They were affiliated with the Houston Colt 45's starting in 1962.
In 1970, Wynn achieved his highest career batting average and the most doubles of his career. His home run total (27) was not quite as good as some earlier years, but it would be his best total until he reached the Dodgers in 1974.
