I forgot he was a Yankee too.

A little light with the stick however. I'd have to give Curt Flood a very slight nod as an all around CFer. Hard to get one past either of them though.

.......In May of 1970, Blair was hit in the face by a fastball by the Angels’ Ken Tatum and suffered severe facial and eye injuries. “After that,” Michael said, “he was never the same hitter.” Nevertheless in the 1970 World Series against the Reds, Blair tied a record for most hits in a five-game Series, going 9-for-19.

“I talked to my dad (Wednesday) and he sounded real tired,” Blair’s son, Paul Jr., said by phone Thursday night. “He'd had a heart attack two years ago and they put a stent in and he also recently had both hips replaced, but he was doing fine. He loved to bowl so I know he was in a place where he was most happy.”

RIP
