Found another "Expo that never was" pic for Expos 1969-2004 (and others) to enjoy. After bouncing around the previous two seasons (Pirates, Padres, White Sox, Indians [minor leagues]), Tommie went to camp with the 'Spos in 1971.

(Topps original, left, and my "corrected" version.)

As implied, he didn't make the team and was farmed out to the AAA Winnipeg Whips. After 8 games (1-2, 5.54), it was plain that Tommie was Whipped and he retired/was released, ending his career.
