Lynn set the baseball world on fire in 1975: Rookie of the Year and MVP. His numbers were awesome: .331 BA with 21 HR and 105 RBI. He was the first player to win both awards in one season. In the post season, Lynn was a key part in Boston winning the AL pennant & the dramatic 7-game loss to Cincinnati in The World Series.
Later in 1979, he hit .306 with 39 HR & 122 RBI.
Overall, Lynn had a pretty career: .282 BA, 306 HR and 1,111 RBI.
Eventually, he ended up with the Angels, Orioles, Tigers and finished with Padres.
