The man could hit. Really hit.
I remember as a kid how much of a vagabond Tommy was when it came to his Topps cards. After he left the Dodgers in 1966, Topps had cards for him on teams all over the place:
1967: Mets
1968: White Sox
1969: Pilots
1970: Astros
1971: Cubs
1972: A's
1973: None
1974-6:Orioles
1977: Royals
And this before the advent of extensive free-agency movement. Has there been a player appearing on cards for more different teams than Tommy?
