Paul Blair. perhaps one of the greatest center fielders in the history of baseball died Thursday night while bowling outside of Baltimore City. Blair, a multiple winner of the Gold Glove played very shallow, and had the ability to break at the crack of the bat to where the ball would be. He made a lot of pitchers look better than they were. He played before free-agency, and his total earnings didn't even reach 1/2 a $million. In today's market, he'd be making $8-10 mill a year.
Thank you, Paul Blair, for many hours of entertainment watching you play center field, or listening to Chuck Thompson describe your heroics on the radio.
