It's funny you bring up Ralph Houk (and the lack of coaches is a very cool detail), because he looks completely out of place, basically appearing in Yankees pinstripes with a Tigers' 'D' airbrushed onto his hat...

...but that's nothing compared to the man he replaced in Detroit, Billy Martin, who moved to the Rangers (and took Fowler and Silvera with him). His picture is from the very same photoshoot as his 1973 Tigers card (it was obviously snapped only moments before or after that one, with the backgrounds containing the very same players/elements), with a god-awful hat retouching job ("Quick!! Somebody get me more blue paint!!!")...

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