Return To The Cleveland Indians
After Al Rosen was brought into the Bronx as a senior executive in fall 1977—crowding Paul's authority much as Paul's presence did Mike Burke—Paul returned to Cleveland as president of the Indians in 1978. But he could never rouse the Tribe from their doldrums.
Paul retired in 1984 after almost 60 years in the game. He died at the age of 88 in Tampa, Florida.
Paul was played by actor Kevin Conway in the 2007 ESPN television mini-series The Bronx Is Burning.
