Jesse Tannehill Marquee

b. July 14, 1874 · Cincinnati Reds 1894, 1911, Pittsburgh Pirates 1897–1902, New York Highlanders 1903, Boston Americans 1904–1907, Boston Red Sox 1908, Washington Senators 1908–1909

He won 20 or more games six times — 25 in 1898, 24 in 1899, 20 in 1900 and 1902, 21 in 1904 and 22 in 1905 — with a career mark of 197-117 and a .627 winning percentage. His earned run average, 2.80, came in the years when that was possible and was still better than most of his league.

He batted .255 with 361 hits and was used in the outfield 87 times when he was not pitching, which for a pitcher of any era is a great deal. He threw left-handed and was small, five foot eight.

He no-hit Chicago for Boston in August 1904, the year that club won the pennant. His brother Lee Tannehill played nine seasons for the White Sox. Two ballots in the 1940s gave him one vote each. He died in 1956, at eighty-two.
