Spending two days with your old man in a moving truck is a treasure in itself for a young kid.
Anyways they bought me a half dozen 1983 Topps Rack packs to open on the way down. First pack first card was Paul Boris. Not sure why this card has stayed with me for over 30 years while every other card has come and gone but its still here.
True story...the card behind Paul Boris? Tony Gwynn but who cared. I had Paul Boris!

I went to college with Paul at Rutgers. He was a friend of my brother and they were 2 years ahead of me. Had lunch with him there numerous times and followed his path up the ladder in the Yankees farm system and then the trade to the Twins and his eventual trip to the majors.
