“My first major league game was at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, and Roberto Clemente almost killed me!” The “Toy Cannon” meets a real cannon with near disastrous results. Speaking with Baseball Digest some 40 years after the fact, Jimmy Wynn dredges up this traumatic close encounter: “Not many people know this, but I came up as a shortstop. Clemente hit a screaming line drive, and I got my glove up just as the ball hit the left field wall. I was one heck of a high school shortstop, but the majors were another story. After that, I told the coaches and manager to get me out of the infield.” In fact, this hair-raising encounter took place during Wynn’s second game in the majors. Wynn will have to soldier on in the infield for another 10 tension-filled days, but will be firmly ensconced in centerfield after that.
