1978 - Roric Harrison
I love it when things like this pop up in the TV e-Bay offerings, as this just did. After pitching all of 1977 at the Tigers' AAA affiliate in Evansville, the journeyman Harrison was given a card in the 1978 set, anticipating he'd come up to the Tigers. He was, inopportunely for Topps, released during Spring Training, was signed and released by the Pirates and finally signed with Minnesota, where he was sent to the minors before being called up and seeing his last major league action later in the year with the Twins.
Anyway Topps must have shot him in camp in 1977 with St. Louis, as this full image from his 1978 paint job shows.
