Munson is not the only horizontal '71 Topps card. Yes, most were upright - but there are others in that format, I'm not sure how many total - but Rudy May, Bud Harrelson, Jim Fregosi, and Roy White come to mind.
You are correct in that the Munson was the first Topps "action" format card in a set that included them. Topps would go on to use "In Action" photos while returning mostly to portraits for base cards in 1972, and then of course the '73 set is mostly action - with a variety of both good and terrible shots of that genre which make it pretty much it's own animal.
