You
 know I love those wacky airbrushed photos of the 1970’s, so today we 
take a look at a crayon-colored (or so it seems) image Topps used for 
former Houston Astros (more on that later) Keith Lampard, who appeared 
on a 1972 Montreal Expos rookie card:
Lampard was already a couple of years from the last Big League action he
 saw, with the Houston Astros, for whom he suited up his only two 
seasons under the MLB sun, 1969 and 1970.
Though I cannot find ANY documentation of a transaction to Montreal, 
apparently he was either dealt or sold to the Expos at some point after 
1970, giving us this great image for the card.
Nevertheless, Lampard’s days as a Major League outfielder were already 
over, as he’d play out the rest of his Pro career in the St. Louis and 
Philadelphia organizations through the 1973 season.
Still, I’d love to know why Topps thought he was a member of the Montreal organization come 1972.
Anyone have any info on Lampard and some time with the Expos?
All told, Lampard played two seasons in the Big Leagues, batting .238 
with 20 hits over 84 at-bats in 62 games, all for the Houston Astros.
