Rob Ellis 1971
Infielder-outfielder infamously signed by the 1971 Brewers right off the Michigan State campus. He hit .198.
Shots of Ellis in the old style Milwaukee flannels are not impossible to find (the first two Topps uploaded today show him thusly) but heretofore the only color I know of him from his return engagement in 1974-75 were also posted today.
Incidentally Ellis was so dissatisfied by his 1975 performance with Milwaukee's farm in Sacramento that he apologized in a newspaper advertisement (might have set the precedent for players trying to say thanks/oops/bye via media):
