Super nice guy met him at a random game in Balt 3 years ago he was visiting all the suites for some promotion. Talked to him for a few minutes and told him my favorite card of his was his 1967 topps, he agreed.

Great guy and ball player. Even greater loss. May he rest in peace.

I remember in the early 80's stumbling across a used Wilson glove with the name Paul Blair inscribed in it. At that time I hadn't even heard of Blair, but the mitt fit perfectly so that is what counted to a 6 year old! Shortly after that my dad educated me on the fielding excellence that was Paul Blair. That glove stayed with me for years until I out grew it and advanced to an adult Johnny Antonelli model. Babe Ruth and Paul Blair. The first two baseball players that became entrenched in my mind!

When I was a kid, I remember watching great defensive ballplayers, great gloves in the infield, speed and arms in the outfield. But nobody turned his back and blazed to the ball like Paul Blair. IMO, he beat the entire American League with his glove. It was the first time in my baseball life I remember thinking that a defensive ballplayer made a habit of breaking the other team. Palmer had to love this guy.
