Paul was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. -- the ancestral home of the Dodgers -- but his family moved to Arizona when he was two. He put his name in the club's history book on May 28, 2001 by going 6-for-6, with a homer, four RBI and three runs scored, in a win over the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium. Paul became just the seventh player in franchise history to get six hits in a game, and only the second since 1939. But he didn't stop there! Paul completed his rise from obscurity by leading major-league catchers in hitting (.320). With 25 homers and 90 RBI, he tied for second and finished third, respectively, in those two categories. Paul was also impressive behind the dish, throwing out 39 percent of would-be base-stealers.

Paul spent 1998-2000 shuttling between Los Angeles and the club's former Triple-A affiliate in Albuquerque. He had three different stints with the Dodgers in 2000, hitting .246, with two homers and eight RBI, in 34 games. He played five different positions for Los Angeles (C, LF, CF, RF, 3B) after appearing at every position except P and SS for Albuquerque. Paul led his minor-league team with a .351 average and hit .366 with runners in scoring position. He was a First-Team All-American and All-Pac-10 selection at Arizona State in 1993 after batting .446, with 14 home runs and 88 RBI, to lead the Sun Devils to the College World Series.
