Yes, Spoke was there in the booth for a brief while in 1931, but it's odd that he's in uniform (maybe a Spring Training hitting coach?) and odder that they would use such an old image given how the remaining cards are far more contemporary to the issue date. They must have really wanted to include Tris. Fine by me. Probably not much stuff out there connecting him to Chicago.
