I have 33 cards of Willie Blair. This one is from 1998 Topps.
Playing career: Willie Blair pitched twelve seasons in the
major leagues for eight different teams. His best season was 1997 when he went
16-8 for Detroit. Overall, in 418 games he went 60-86 with a 5.04 ERA.
Where he is now: Bullpen coach for the San Diego Padres.
My memories: In 2012 he shared his thoughts on baseball cards with this blog.
Google Autocomplete results: He is third when you type
Willie Bl, between Willie Black, referring to a character in the movie Gridiron Gang, and Willie Blige,
Commuter Tech at the NYC Department of Education. Another prominent Willie
Blair is a surgeon in Maryland.
