		Paul was Lloyd's first hitting coach, instructing him to hit down on the ball and to go for line drives rather than power.
		Although Paul produced more extra-base hits (including four times as many homers) than his brother did during their major league careers, the two had similar batting styles, keeping the bat at rest on their shoulders until the pitcher began his delivery.
		Waner also preferred to put the bat on the ball rather than walk; he never took more than 40 free passes in a season.

		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.
		Playing in center (next to right fielder Paul), Lloyd used his speed to cover the spacious center field lot in Forbes Field, and ended up leading the league in putouts four times.
		Though Lloyd’s numbers were iffy by Cooperstown standards, being Paul’s brother definitely helped his case.
