Can anyone provide any information on the close-up image of Spencer in the next post, I have it dated from 1915 so presumably he is playing for the Tigers?

Spencer played for the 1915 Venice/Vernon Tigers of the Pacific Coast League, not the Detroit Tigers. The "D" on his uniform was used during his time with the Detroit Tigers, 1916-1918.
Pictured below with the 1916 Detroit Tigers and the 1915 Venice/Vernon Tigers, from the 2/24/1915 Morning Tribune. Spencer is 4th from the right.
