The connection between these two players isn't that solid. Although both players are left-handed hitting outfielders and both have played in many different cities. Simpson played for 5 different teams in his 8 year MLB career.

Pittsburgh is Church's 4th team in 7 years. Perhaps that is the connection Topps was going for. I love this hobby! I love this game. LATER.
Ryan Church.... BOO!
