PAUL BLAIR
His signed 1977 Topps sports card, no. 313 shown as outfielder for
the Orioles
Sports Card signed: "Paul Blair" in blue ink above facsimile
signature. Color, 2½x3½. ©T.C.B. 1977 Topps sports card, no. 313. 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. In
1971, he tried switch-hitting, but stopped after going 11-57. Slightly worn at
corners. Creased. Otherwise, fine condition.
