Paul and Lloyd Waner were the greatest story in baseball during 1927, even eclipsing Babe Ruth. Paul had made the jump from the PCL the year before (1926) and hit .336 as a diminutive Rookie. His success prompted his brother Lloyd to jump as well and the two became instant headlines in Pittsburgh as the "Waner Brothers" prepared to take the Baseball World by Storm... and they did! Paul would lead the League in Average (.380), RBI and Total Bases while Lloyd would also chip in with .355! It is hard to imagine the media frenzy today that would be all over a pair of brothers with numbers like that. Stunning photo from mid season and stamped on the back by the International News. Photo has pinholes at the corners but otherwise it presents well.
