Is this Joe Rudi or Gene Tenace?

I have just recently become more interested in the 1973 Topps set, and this is the first time I have seen this card. It looks to me that this is Gene Tenace and not Joe Rudi, maybe this is common knowledge or am I just wrong?

    That is definitely Gene Tenace.

    Also, the Standard Catalog confirms the error. In the listing for 1973 Topps, card #360 includes this note: "(photo actually Gene Tenace)".

    I vote Tenace as well.

    Card #360 -- Joe Rudi

    This card shows a celebration at home plate following what appears to be a Gene Tenace home run. Tenace is flanked by two teammates and Oriole catcher Johnny Oates looks toward the pitcher's mound. That makes four players and an umpire in the picture, and not one of them is Joe Rudi.

    I'm not trying to promote SGC, but they had a good article about the 1973 Topps baseball set including the Joe Rudi error card in their magazine. They discussed the other errors in the set and the bad photography. One of my favorites is Twins pitcher Bill Hands(#555), beginning his windup on the mound at Wrigley Field with a Cub outfielder in the background. His uniform was obviously airbrushed.
