I think you may be right. What's weird is that Spike Shannon last played for the New York Giants in 1908 but finished his career with the Pirates later that season (after being claimed off waivers). Does this mean that the 1909 date for this issue may be a little off? He did have a very good season in 1907 playing for the Giants (leading the league in runs scored, plate appearances, and at bats).
