  • Historical Society Notes and Documents the Baseball Letters of John K
    HISTORICAL SOCIETY NOTES AND DOCUMENTS THE BASEBALL LETTERS OF JOHN K. TENER Edited by William F. Trimble more leisure time than ever before, Americans by the mid- Withand late 1880s found relaxation and enjoyment in professional sports, of which by far the most popular was baseball. In this brief series of letters written by John Kinley Tener while on tour with a minor league team from Haverhill, Massachusetts, and later with the National League Chicago White Sox (the present-day Cubs), we can see the youthful exuberance of a man with the skill and oppor- tunity to make a contribution to a contending team in the big leagues. Tener's enthusiasm for the game, his humor, high spirits, and in- sight regarding notable baseball personalities exude from the pages of nearly every neatly inscribed letter. Tener was born in County Tyrone, Ireland, on July 25, 1863, the son of George Evans and Susan Wallis Tener. He emigrated to Allegheny City with his parents in 1872 and together the family took up residence on Western Avenue. After graduating from Central High School in Pittsburgh, Tener worked at various jobs in the city before trying his luck with professional baseball. He played with the Haverhill team— for a year, then joined— the Chicago club in 1888. That year his best in the majors Tener had a seven-and-five won-lost record and appeared in fourteen games. In 1889, he pitched in more than twice as many games but posted a poor fourteen-and- fifteen won-lost mark. When the players revolted the next year against salary limitations, the onerous reserve clause, and other grievances, Tener jumped to the newly formed Players' League where he pitched for the Pittsburgh team.
