Loved The Toy Cannon , imagine him hitting in any stadium instead of the Astrodome ?? Note: 5'9 165 lbs. soaking wet , he was so strong and his quick bat and strong wrists !!! If he hit in these homer band boxes nowadays forget it , might of hit 500 HR's , while we're at it Willie Mays would of hit a 1,000 , he hit in the Polo Grounds with a 455 ft CF and windy Candle Stick ??? Geez !!!
Both would be amazing and fun to watch today, no doubt. I was amazed at the power Eric Davis could generate at about the same bodyweight as Wynn, though ED was a few inches taller.
Adam,
Look up the video of Jim Wynn hitting one of the longest homers I have ever seen at Crosley Field in the mid sixties. It is amazing.

Nothing like taking target practice on the passing cars. Wow! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ2fs9p-J3s

Thanks! Glad you liked it.
