Topps had fun with this sort of thing (there's a terrific thread here on N54 showing pics used for cards).

The action on Sandy Amaro's '56 has the shot of him sliding in under Yogi in the '55 Series. It's is pretty similar to the Howard/Hoeft thing:

Mighty crowded there around the plate. Topps took out everyone but the two principals:



Not exactly the same since Amoros' head took up the space where the on deck hitter and the coach(?), batboy(?) were positioned. But still kind of neat.
