Gone but not forgotten. After his playing days with the Orioles (one game), White Sox (two seasons), and Pittsburgh Burghers of the Players' League (one season), Tener went into business in the Pittsburgh area. He was elected to the US House of Representatives in 1908, then as Governor of Pennsylvania in 1910. He was elected as president of the National League in 1913, and served there at half-pay until his term as governor was up. Tener was the man who suspended and fined McGraw for umpire abuse, then fined him an additional $1,000 when McGraw complained to a reporter.
