not exactly
I believe he's shown in a 1917 White Sox uniform. He was acquired by St. Louis in late December, 1921, after finishing a 25-win season in the minors for Columbus. He was a very controversial pitcher, accused of throwing illegal pitches, and according to this SABR article, was acquired by the Browns for 11 players, five of whom were to be named later.

This likely explains why he would be included in the set, and does not disturb the 1922 timeline for its issuance.
