He did have a very good season in 1907 playing for the Giants (leading the league in runs scored, plate appearances, and at bats).

If it's the other Shannon, the date is off anyway because he played in 1915. I read somewhere (forgot which site) that Spike just makes more sense given that the other Shannon was never very good and played one season, a handful of at bats, 6 years after the supposed release of these.
