	Paul Waner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Paul Glee Waner (April 16, 1903 - August 29, 1965) was an American player in Major League Baseball who, along with his brother Lloyd, starred in the Pittsburgh Pirates' outfield in the 1920s and 1930s.
		He and his younger brother Lloyd, nicknamed "Little Poison," hold the career record for hits by brothers, outpacing Joe DiMaggio and his two brothers Dom and Vince, and the three Alou brothers Felipe, Matty and Jesús, among others.
		Waner was also nearsighted, a fact that Pirate management only learned late in his career when he remarked that he had difficulty reading the ads posted on the outfield walls.

	Kirby Puckett - Baseball Fever
		You know, I was going to do one of my chart "studies" : Lloyd Waner vs. Kirby Puckett, and I got about 30 minutes into it and realized when comparing these 2 guys to all the center fielders of alltime: They neither one deserve the hall of fame.
		Waner I see as the 19th or 20th best CF in the Hall (with Earl Combs also in contention for worst CF in the Hall).
		Combs and Waner were not nearly as good in their own time as Puckett in his.

		Lloyd Waner had 223 hits in his rookie year (1927) -- also age 21.

		Lloyd Waner, the lesser of the Waner brothers, didn’t quite put up the same numbers as Paul, but he brought a different skill set to the field.
		Though he finished with on-base and slugging percentages lower than.400, Lloyd batted over.300 nine times (including a.351 average for his first four years!) while averaging less than 10 strikeouts for every year he played.
		Though Lloyd’s numbers were iffy by Cooperstown standards, being Paul’s brother definitely helped his case.

		In baseball-happy Pittsburgh, the Waner brothers, along with Pie Traynor and Arky Vaughan, were the shining lights in a otherwise dull era that ended in the painful 1938 collapse in the twilight gloom of Wrigley Field.
		His passion has led to this 339-page compilation of newspaper reports, magazine articles, essays and short stories that chronicle much of the history of the franchise, from its inception in 1882 in the American Association, to its switch to the National League five years later, and to the opening of PNC Park in 2001.
		From Traynor to Waner to Haddix, from Clemente to Stargell to Mazeroski, from five World Series titles to the notorious drug trials of 1985, this collection is entertaining and enlightening.

		But Lloyd Waner probably had the most impressive season ever in terms of RBI futility.
		Lloyd was known as "Little Poison" to his brother Paul’s "Big Poison," and he certainly was both: he played little ball and he was poison to his team’s offense.
		He had to hit.330 to help his team, something he did early in his career, but by 1940 he was such a liability that he set the 20th-century record for most hits (43) in a season with just three RBI.
