In a career that stretched from 1963 to 1977, he slugged 291 home runs, 223 of them in Houston ballparks (Colt Stadium, the Astrodome) notoriously unfriendly to power hitters. A strong-armed, speedy outfielder, Wynn was also adept at getting on base (seven times in the top 10 for on-base percentage) and then swiping a bag (225 career steals). This memoir recounts his triumphs and struggles in detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe late \u003cb\u003eJimmy Wynn\u003c\/b\u003e was a three-time All-Star whose number was retired by the Houston Astros.
