1973 Topps-Chris Speier #273
Many thanks to the following blog "1973 Topps Photography"
Update: Rob might just be correct "I looked at 1971. On June 4, 1971, Tim McCarver (#6) was the catcher, and Bobby Pfeil (#18) was the third baseman. In the bottom of the 8th Speier scored from 3rd on an infield single off Chris Short. I think that might be the play."
Good Call Rob!
What I know thanks to (smedcards) comment on the blog:
"Bateman played for the Phils in SF in July. On July 14, Speier (batting THIRD!!) scored from second on a single by Ken Henderson off of Mac Scarce in the 7th. The other games in the series don't lead itself to a play such as this."
Adding more to this comment, Chris Speier walked then went to second on a wild pitch setting up the single by Henderson for the play at the plate. Playing third in the background is Don Money and my first guess is that might be either the bat boy or Dave Kingman who is on deck.

For the July 14, 1972 game, the Baseball-Reference.com play-by-play has this note before the bottom of the 7th:
"Mike Ryan replaces Bill Robinson (PR) playing C batting 8th"
The site also says that Ryan wore uniform #9 for the 1972 Phillies. The catcher on the card doesn't seem to be #9. Also, Don Money was #16. The third baseman in the card appears to be wearing #18.
