Paul Blair is a former center fielder. Blair, who batted and threw right-handed, played for the Baltimore Orioles (1964-76), New York Yankees (1977-79, 1980) and Cincinnati Reds (1979). Blair was originally signed by the New York Mets as an amateur free agent in 1961. After spending the 1962 season in their farm system, he was drafted by the Orioles in the 1962 first-year draft. He broke into the Orioles' lineup in 1965 and, despite hitting only .234 with five home runs and 25 runs batted in, impressed many with his defensive skills. In 1966 he batted .277 and won his first of four World Series titles. In his 17-year career, Blair batted .250 with 134 home runs and 620 RBIs, 1513 hits and 171 stolen bases in 1947 games played. He was also one of the top bunters in the game, recording at least 10 sacrifice hits four times in his career, including 17 during the 1975 season.
