Although Lloyd Waner weighed only 150 pounds, he was an all-round player who could hit, field, throw, steal and beat opponents in countless ways. "Little Poison" batted .355 in his National League debut while garnering 223 hits, the latter figure establishing a National League rookie record that would not be broken until the 21st century. The Pirate legend hit over .300 in 10 of his first 12 seasons, compiled a career mark of .316 and accumulated 2,459 hits, striking out just 173 times in 18 seasons. A pesky slap hitter, Waner was one of the fastest runners of his era in going from home to first.
