I'll throw this random trivia out there and no googling...I was a kid with my Dad at Fenway when a Red Sox 3rd Baseman in his first game hit an inside the park homer over Paul Blair's head..who was it?

Let's continue with the Paul Blair trivia vs. a team I'm more familiar with - the NY Mets..

In the 1969 World Series, Paul Blair broke up a no-hitter in the 7th inning of one the Met victories - who was the NY Mets pitcher?

Also, in another game, Paul Blair was robbed of an extra-base hit by a NY Mets outfielder in arguably one of the best catches of all-time - who was the NY Mets outfielder?

Again, "no-googling" please....
