Hank Fischer 1962 (in 1966)
Four caps in 11 months is a lot of movement, but the worst part was that he was dumped by the Impossible Dream Red Sox two months before they reached the World Series. Lingering arm problems put him on the disabled list for much of '67 and after he was reactivated in August, they sent him to the minors. He retired the next season.
Topps sold one shot of Fischer in the Atlanta cap (taken during the great Opening Day shoot in '66 where all the outstanding Phil Niekros came from) and got him in September '66 in another beautiful shoot at Yankee Stadium and used one of those images in their 1967 set. I think these are the first non-Topps Boston shots of him, and I know they did not catch him during his stopover in Cincy.
