PAUL BLAIR
Program from the 50th anniversary of the Baseball Hall of Fame, signed on the front
cover by the Oriole and Yankee center fielder
Program signed: "Paul Blair", 30 pages, 8x10. Program for the 50th Anniversary Celebration
of the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, New York, June 9-11, 1989. Signed on the
front cover. An intuitive centerfielder whose speed going back allowed him to play
unusually shallow, the loquacious Paul Blair (1944-2013) won eight Gold Gloves. An
Oriole from 1964 through 1976, he finished among Baltimore's all-time top five in a
dozen offensive categories. His average was augmented by his bunting skills, and he had 171
career stolen bases. He had his best year in 1969 (.285, 26 HR, 76 RBI). In 1970, he
suffered serious eye and facial injuries from a Ken Tatum beaning. Lingering fear at the
plate caused him to seek help from a hypnotherapist. Blair was a key component of Orioles
teams that won two World Series (1966, 1970), before joining a Yankees club that won
two more (1977, 1978). Blair, an excellent bunter, played on two All-Star teams. Fine
condition.
