    Paul L. D. Blair
    (February 1, 1944 – December 26, 2013) was an
    outfielder
    who spent seventeen seasons in
    Major League Baseball
    (MLB) with the
    Baltimore Orioles
    (1964–76),
    New York Yankees
    (1977–79, 1980) and
    Cincinnati Reds
    (1979).
    He was the starting
    center fielder
    for the Orioles when they won two

    Championships, four
    American League
    (AL)
    pennants
    and five
    American League East
    titles from
    1966
    to
    1974
    . One of
    baseball
    's best defensive players at his position, he earned the
    Gold Glove Award
    eight times, including seven consecutive from
    1969
    to
    1975
    .
    One of the best defensive outfielders of his era, he had excellent range and was brilliant at tracking fly balls.
    He seemed to taunt hitters by playing shallow, then running down balls hit over his head.
