So I had the year wrong:

6/7/1975 edition of The Sporting News reports that when Cardinals traded Ted Martinez to Oakland 5/16, “much-traveled Jay Schlueter was rushed in temporarily from Tulsa...but a few days later Don Hahn replaced Schlueter.” 

For the record, St. Louis started a three-game series at Candlestick Park on May 16, 1975, which explains how Doug McWilliams shot him for Topps. Schlueter never played for the Cardinals and in fact 1975 was his last year in pro ball.

As to Pregenzer and Wilbur Huckle - Pregenzer actually made it to the majors, Huckle never did. But he did get a trip to the Polo Grounds at the end of his 1963 minor league season (without being added to the roster) plus a banner at the Mets' 1964 Banner Day, and the "campaign" pins shown above his image.
