Waner Brothers Reach Bright Peak In Pirates Outfield
The Waner brothers Paul and Lloyd, both with the Pittsburgh Pirates, have risen to major league prominence in their first year together. Paul, 24, led the club with a .335 batting average after a big buy from the Pacific coast, while 21-year-old Lloyd took over left field from Barnhart, both crediting “corncob practice” on the farm for their eye and hitting.

Brothers in leagues and fights shape a crowded field
The article notes siblings in major league teams with the Waner stance as a benchmark. Zeke and Jesse Barnes shared the Giants pitching staff, though Jesse shifted to Brooklyn. Meusel brothers Bob and Emil both played outfield but in different leagues. Delaney eyes a heavyweight return hampered by brittle gear, facing Pauline as he recovers from hand and elbow injuries. Paulino absorbs punishment and thrives, posing a menace to a 15 round bout if not halted early.
