So Del Unser set the then Major League Record for consecutive pinch-hit homers. Only problems is Lee Lacy set the record the year before with the Dodgers when he hit three consecutive homers in pinch hitting appearances. On May 2, 6 and 17th Lacy homered. Unser's were on June 30, July 5 and July 10th. A very odd mistake on Topps part.
The card itself looks like the photographer was a fan of German Expressionism or the bad Paul Newman movie The Silver Chalice. It appears its an empty dugout in the background with the seats above and the sky in the background. An unusual card to say the least.
