Paul, wearing #4 on his back, was a 'five tool player.' That, in baseball parlance, indicates he could hit, hit with power, throw, run and field...all with 'plus talent.' Paul capped a great career as a Nebraska Husker, being named All-American by 'The Sporting News' in 1986. A lifetime .350 hitter for the Big Red, he still ranks among school leaders career homers, RBI's, total bases and hits. He once knocked in 10 runs in one game. That tied Hall of Famer Gene Torczon at the time and has since been tied by Husker Coach, Darin Erstad. Paul spent the summer of his freshman year playing for the Beatrice Bruins and was labeled by Major League scouts and Jayhawk League managers as one of best to ever play for the Bruins'. That's quite a compliment when you consider the great ones that have come and gone from that organization. He was selected in the fourth round by San Francisco in the 1986 draft and carved out a five-year Minor League career with the Giants. His first season was in A ball but he moved up to AA for two seasons and then progressed to AAA for his final two seasons. A true Hall of Famer, Paul Meyers. Omaha |
