Historical NotesBoard game featuring brothers and professional baseball players Paul and Lloyd Waner. Paul Waner, nicknamed Big Poison, is regarded as one of the top five Pittsburgh Pirates of all-time. He was a hall of fame outfielder who played 15 seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Lloyd James Waner, nicknamed Little Poison, was a Major League Baseball center fielder. His small stature at 5 ft 9 in and 132 lb made him one of the smallest players of his era. Along with his brother, Paul Waner, he anchored the Pittsburgh Pirates outfield throughout the 1920s and 1930s. After brief stints with four other teams late in his career, Waner retired as a Pirate.
