Debuting for the Chicago White Sox in 1903, Lee Tannehill played his entire MLB career with the team, mainly used at Third Base and occasionally at Shortstop.

Tannehill was a light hitter but was strong defensively, even leading the American League in Defensive bWAR  twice (1909 & 1911), he was a four-time leader in Assists at Third, the two-time leader in Double Plays Turned at Third, and a three-time leader at Range Factor per Game at Third.  Offensively, he accumulated 833 Hits, but was still important in the White Sox capture of the 1906 World Series.
