As they planned the 1974 set, I imagine the conversation in the Topps art department went something like this...

"We've pictured Hammerin' Hank from every conceivable angle over his career, so what can we possibly do differently, people?"

"Boss, I've got it!!!!!!! Let's basically show the back of his head!!!!!"

"Absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!!! And next year, we'll take another picture from that very same photoshoot and airbrush the heck out of it!!!!!"

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
