That season, he hit .366, which is the highest season batting average in Atlanta history, tied for sixth in franchise history.

Tenney played 15 seasons with the Boston Braves, from 1894 to 1907. He ranks fifth in franchise history in runs (1134), fourth in franchise history in hits (1994), and fifth in franchise history in stolen bases (260). He is the second best first baseman in franchise history by fWAR (40.7). Tenney also served as both a player and manager from 1905 to 1907 and in 1911.
