Strangely, surrounding a golf outing similar to Gil Hodges -- two members of the 1969 World Series.

RIP Paul Blair. He played the shallowest CF in baseball. Great speed and range.

A genuine Gold Glove guy.

His nickname was Motor Mouth.

Blair also spent his waning baseball days as mostly an observer in the Bronx Zoo (aka the New York Yankees clubhouse during the Steinbrenner-Martin-Jackson era).

Never got the credit he was probably due.

RIP Paul. Tough year for Oriole alumni.
