In 1974 the Yankees played their home games at Shea Stadium while Yankee Stadium was remodeled. Some Yankee Stadium shots from prior years managed to sneak into the '75 set. I picked Terry Crowley because it has the added incongruity of a National Leaguer at Yankee Stadium. Despite playing all of 1974 with the Reds, Topps still airbrushed an old card of him with the Orioles.
Here's an example of a Yankee at home at Shea Stadium, which always looks weird to me.

Interesting point on that Crowley. There are a lot of "impossible" cards like that, where someone's playing in the wrong league (pre-interleague play) or in a home uniform in the wrong park.
