Major League Baseball Player. He played Major League baseball as a right-handed pitcher for seven seasons (1912 to 1918) with the New York Giants. He led the National League in earned run average in 1912, in games started in 1913 and 1914 and in shutouts in 1914. While a rookie, he pitched a no-hitter on September 6, 1912 against the Philadelphia Phillies. He pitched for the Giants in the World Series in 1912, 1913, 1917, and he twice won more than 20 games in a season. His career record was 115-72 with and ERA of 2.43. Tesreau had a dispute with Giants manager John McGraw during the 1918 season and quit the team.
