Here are three cards from 1971 Topps. In the back of second on the Tommy Agee is second baseman and future HOFer Joe Morgan. The picture is taken from the same game as the regular issue Morgan card also seen here.
In the foreground of the Bud Harrelson card is a very young future strikeout king Nolan Ryan. I am not 100% sure but I believe that the player being thrown out is also Joe Morgan. I believe, although not completely sure, that the Harrelson play took place immediately after the Morgan shot at bat. If so I think that would make complete logical since the photographer would be in the same position.
Does anyone know a way to research if Joe Morgan faced Nolan Ryan during a day game at Shae stadium during the 1970 season? If the facts check out then that would lead me to conclude that these photos were all taken for the same sequence
