The image would end up being used for a multi-player rookie in the 1973 set, seen here:
Lopez, who spent all 13 of his professional seasons in the Minors, came over to the Indians after splitting the 1972 season in the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers organizations.
A guy who a some pop in his bat, he hit as many as 22 home runs in a season (1971 for Syracuse), and hit 127 of them for his career.
Sadly for him, he’d never get that break to the Big Leagues, playing through the 1975 season before hanging them up for good at the age of 30.
For his pro career, he hit the aforementioned 127 homers along with a .263 average, with 908 hits over 3441 at-bats, and one nifty “70’s style” Topps airbrush job.
