1960 Topps baseball card of former major league pitcher Early Wynn. A big righthander, Wynn pitched for 25 seasons for the Washington Senators, Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox, and gained a reputation for being an intimidator, once saying that he’d knock down his own mother with a pitch if the game was on the line. He’s in the rare group of pitchers who won 300 games in their careers, and had five 20-win seasons, 290 complete games and 49 shutouts in his 25 years. “Gus” won the Cy Young Award as baseball’s best pitcher in 1959 at the age of 39. He was inducted into baseball’s Hall of Fame in 1972.
