    Q&A with Astros legend and very underrated player, Jimmy Wynn, aka The Toy Cannon. He was the 'Stros career home run leader until Bagwell surpassed him. His number 24 was retired by the Astros in 2005. He's also one of the few players in major league history ever to hit a home run in the upper deck of the Astrodome. Since he was 5'8 170lbs, the feat is extra impressive.

    Long article, so I just posted the link, and my favorite quip. Enjoy:
