Tannehill was a former star pushing 35 and just hanging on when the Barr-Farnham photographer captured him just before the Senators sold him to Minneapolis early in the 1909 season.

Had the stats been compiled during his career, Tannehill would've twice been the National League leader in Fielding Independent Pitching, and once its ERA champion. It wasn't as if he was under appreciated by the measures of the day: a 20-game winner in four out of five seasons with the Pirates and twice more with the Boston Americans, a .627 lifetime winning percentage, and just three wins shy of 200 for his career.

Tannehill was also a career .255 batter with 142 RBI in just 507 career games.
