Player Biography
Although Lloyd Waner weighed only 150 pounds, “Little Poison” was one of the toughest outs of his era, striking out just 173 times in 18 seasons. Hall of Fame manager Al Lopez observed that Waner “had unbelievable speed for those days,” which enabled him to patrol the wide spaces of centerfield at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh. Though he lacked power at the plate (83 percent of his 2,459 career hits were singles), he frustrated pitchers and infielders by beating out ground balls, batting .316 lifetime. As a Pittsburgh Pirates rookie in 1927, Waner batted .355, racking up 223 hits – still a National League rookie record.
