(b. March 16, 1906 - d. July 22, 1982)

| "Little Poison," to older brother Paul's "Big Poison," Lloyd Waner was to the single what Babe Ruth was to the home run. In 1927, Waner's rookie year, the little leadoff man hit 198 one-baggers. He used his speed to cove the vast Forbes Field outfield, leading the NL in putouts four times. Waner had a .316 career batting average, 2,459 hits, and 1,201 runs scored. |

| Description: |
Issued in 1927, this 63-card set is closely related to the York Caramel set (E210) of the same year. The black-and-white cards measure 1-3/8" X 2-1/2" and display the player's nameat the bottom in capital letters preceded by a number in parentheses. The backs of the card read either "One Bagger," "Three Bagger" or "Home Run", and were apparently designed to be used as part of a baseball game. |
