Houston manager Grady Hatton keeps faith in a strong comeback for center fielder Jim Wynn and star second baseman Joe Morgan as the Astros push for a top NL finish in 1967. Wynn’s wall collision last season shortened power, while Morgan’s kneecap fracture and Willey Wynn’s wrist troubles derailed 1966.
