Jim Tennant

Jim Tennant was a professional baseball player born in 1907, who made a brief yet noteworthy appearance in Major League Baseball. He played during the 1929 season, a time when the game was witnessing the transition from the deadball era into a more offensive-minded style of play. Tennant's career in the major leagues was marked by a singular game, in which he did not record any hits, runs batted in, or home runs, finishing with a batting average of 0.0. Despite the limited opportunity, Tennant's participation in the game reflects the challenges faced by players in that era, where competition was fierce and opportunities were scarce. His short tenure serves as a reminder of the countless players who aspired to play at the highest level, and while his statistical contributions may be minimal, his story adds to the rich tapestry of baseball history. Tennant retired after his single game, forever remaining a part of the fabric of the sport's early history.
