Vern was a big part of the 1960 World's Champion Pittsburgh Pirates. He was 20-9 in the regular season and 2-0 in the World Series against the New York Yankees. In game four, which the Pirates won 3-2 "Deacon" even starred at the plate driving in one run and scoring another.
3 time All-Star Jimmy Wynn is celebrating his 70th birthday today.
Jimmy on having his uniform retired by the Houston Astros:
"It was a great sign of respect. Anytime you get your number retired, it's almost like going into the Hall of Fame. To have my number up there with the best players ever to play in Houston is number one in my life." - Jimmy Wynn (AP Wire, June 25, 2005)
Sounds very much like what Ron Santo said when his number was retired by the Cubs two years earlier.
Jimmy was the NL Comeback Player of the Year in 1974
