More WIth the Angels

Today I've got more on the Angels cards from Topps 1972.

Many of the players had their pictures taken at Anaheim Stadium, including Billy Cowan, who we looked at on Tuesday.

The Topps photographer apparently had some other wacky ideas in addition to the halo head he gave Cowan. Take a look at these two...





...Instead of halo head, we've got a couple of light heads.



And it looks like he couldn't decide if he wanted Mickey Rivers to get the halo or the lights, and he nearly gave him both!



Tom Murphy is a pitcher, but he's wearing both a helmet and batting glove. WIth the arrival of the DH in 1972, this must have been Murphy's lasting tribute to himself as a batter!
