Like the rippling river, Paul Waner goes on and on. After 14 years of major league ball with the Pittsburgh Pirates, "Big Poison" is still a top-flight outfielder and one of the most dangerous hitters in any league. After his dismal .280 in 1938, the first time he had ever hit under .300, Paul wagered that he would hit .340 the next year. He lost his bet but his .328 was highly gratifying to the Pirates as it brought in 45 runs. There isn't a National League batting honor roll that doesn't carry Paul's name. He has more hits than anybody in the National League today, is third in runs-batted-in, and over a period of 14 years boasts a lifetime batting mark of .342.
