Wynne's skills were similar to those of his centerfield predecessor in Pittsburgh, Omar Moreno. The far-ranging ballhawk was usually a light hitter who, unlike Moreno, was a poor basestealing threat. Above-average defense and flashes of offense kept Wynne in the majors. He surprised with 11 HR in 1988 for the Padres, but regressed to six in 1989. (ME/GL)

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
» July 6, 1985: At Pittsburgh, a 2-out single by Marvell Wynne plates the winning run as the Pirates sink the Padres, 8–7. Steve Kemp homers for Pittsburgh, and would've added a single but is thrown out at 1B in the 7th by RF Tony Gwynn in a 9–3 putout.

» April 13, 1987: San Diego sets a major-league record when its first three batters of the game -- Marvell Wynne, Tony Gwynn, and John Kruk -- all homer off the Giants Roger Mason. But the Giants come back to win 13–6.

» May 8, 1988: Pittsburgh's Doug Drabek takes a no-hitter into the 9th before allowing a pinch single to Randy Ready and a home run to Marvell Wynne, but wins a 6–2 two-hitter over the Padres.

» August 31, 1989: Minutes before the postseason rosters must be filed, the Cubs obtain 3B Luis Salazar and OF Marvell Wynne from San Diego in exchange for P Calvin Schiraldi, OF Darrin Jackson and 1B Phil Stephenson. Salazar will play a key role in the Cubs' title run, while of the three new Pad people, only Jackson will perform decently.
