Former Oriole Paul Blair Dies At 69 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Dec 27, 2013 2:05 pm

Paul Blair, an eight-time Gold Glove winner that helped the Baltimore Orioles win two World Series, has died at 69.


Blair died Thursday night at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore.


His wife, Gloria, told The Baltimore Sun that Blair played a round of golf with friends Thursday morning and later lost consciousness at a celebrity bowling tournament.


"Paul was honestly too tired, but he never says no," Gloria Blair said. "During a practice round, he threw two or three balls, then sat down and told a friend, 'I feel funny' and kind of collapsed. He lost consciousness and they called 911 and the ambulance took him to (Sinai), but the doctors there told me they never got a pulse."
