Career

Wynne won his first major league game at Milwaukee's County Stadium, but he didn't beat either the Braves or the Brewers. Pitching for the White Sox in a June 16, 1969, game in Milwaukee — the White Sox played a total of 20 "home games" in Milwaukee in 1968 and 1969 — Wynne defeated the Seattle Pilots, 8-3. He was traded along with Ken Berry and Syd O'Brien by the White Sox to the Angels for Jay Johnstone, Tom Egan and Tom Bradley on November 30, 1970.[1] He retired with a career MLB record of 8–11 with a 4.33 ERA.

gollark: At least it has generics.
gollark: Oh, and it's not a special case as much as just annoying, but it's a compile error to not use a variable or import. Which I would find reasonable as a linter rule, but it makes quickly editing and testing bits of code more annoying.
