H. Jennings Port.

Hugh Ambrose "Ee-Yah" Jennings (1869–1928) is shown here in the T206 White Border H. Jennings Portrait, captured during his managerial run with the Detroit Tigers. The nickname came from the howling, leg-kicking, grass-pulling routine he ran from the third-base coach's box, a one-man theater of distraction and encouragement that bewildered opposing pitchers. Born April 2, 1869 in Pittston, Pennsylvania, the right-handed-hitting and right-handed-throwing shortstop was the star of the rough Baltimore Orioles dynasty of the mid-1890s, batting .401 in 1896 and crowding the plate often enough to lead the league in hit-by-pitches five times. He took over the Tigers as manager in 1907, won three straight American League pennants from 1907 through 1909 with Ty Cobb in his outfield, and stayed at the helm through 1920 before a brief 1925 stint closed his managerial career. He died February 1, 1928 in Scranton and is buried in Section C of St. Catherine's Cemetery in Moscow, Pennsylvania. The Hall of Fame elected him in 1945.
