Former CF Paul Blair dies at 69
Paul Blair, the eight-time Gold Glove center fielder who helped the Baltimore Orioles win a pair of World Series while gliding to make catches that former teammates still marvel at more than four decades later, has died. He was 69.

tremendous glove - Weak, but effective at the plate -
I remember the famous Harry Caray quote of Phillies CF Garry Maddox.. "2/3 of the world is covered by water and the other 1/3 by __________" You could easily fill in "Paul Blair" - an all-time great CF'er RIP.......
