Did you know that Lee Tannehill was the younger brother of the pitcher Jesse Tannehill, who spent fifteen years in the majors and threw a no-hitter on August 17, 1904? Too easy? Did you know that when Lee Tannehill homered on July 31, 1910, he became the first player to hit a home run in Comiskey Park?

On August 4, 1911, Lee Tannehill recorded two unassisted double plays in the same game, making him the first — and through today, the only — shortstop in baseball history with two unassisted double plays in the same game! [Double Play Records for Shortstops]
