It's Bob Shirley
Just adding himself to the long list of players who tried (and usually succeeded) to screw with Topps by posing wrong-handed.
Those who made it onto cards include Bob Uecker, Clete Boyer, Lew Burdette, and Gene Freese.
Guys who did it but were caught before the photo was used, in addition to Shirley: Frank Malzone, Roger Clemens.
And infamously, two Hall of Famers who only got caught when the photos were printed on proof sheets: Bob Gibson and Tom Seaver (which is why there are only two different photos of the latter used before 1970: he posed left-handed in all the others, in his FIRST photo shoot, in March 1967. The other images were destroyed):
