We remember Paul Blair born in Oklahoma on this day in 1944.
Blair played center field for the Orioles, a team that won 2 World Series championships, 4 AL pennants, and 2 division titles. He was traded to the Yankees and played on the 1977 & 1978 teams that won the World Series.
Blair hit .250 over 17 seasons and won 8 Gold Gloves.
His best season was 1969: .285, 26 HR & 76 RBI.
Blair died in 2013. He left us with a lot of memories chasing down those fly balls in center field. He was great!
