	Houston's Clear Thinkers: The Toy Cannon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Wynn -- who was nicknamed "the Toy Cannon" -- toiled for the Stros during the club's difficult early years when the club was not blessed with much talent.
		Accordingly, Wynn's RCAA reflects how well he compared to an average hitter during his era, just as the current Stros' hitters' RCAA reflects how they measure against the average player in today's era.
		Inasmuch as Wynn was consistently in the top ten in the National League RCAA during a good part of his career -- which is basically the stature of current players Bags, Bidg and Berkman during their prime seasons -- the Toy Cannon remains one of the best Stros players of all-time.
