Jeff Tesreau

Charles Monroe "Jeff" Tesreau (March 5, 1888 – September 24, 1946) [1] was an American Major League Baseball (MLB) player.

The New York Times wrote, "Tesreau has curves which bend like barrel hoops and speed like lightning.

"[citation needed] Tesreau finished his rookie season with 17–7 record and on September 6 he would no-hit the Philadelphia Phillies, 3-0.

He started Game 1 of the Series and was credited with the loss in the 4-3 defeat but did not allow a hit for 5.1 innings (a triple by Tris Speaker broke up the no-hit bid).

[4] His performance stood as the longest postseason no-hit bid by a rookie for 101 years until Michael Wacha broke the mark in 2013.

He won four Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League titles and was the alltime wins leader until he was passed by Bob Whalen decades later.
