Best boy is indeed a very good tomato! It continues to be a favorite in this part of the South, along with Better boy. They have pretty good disease resistance, which is important here. I usually grow OPs and Heirlooms, but always include a Best boy or Better boy because they are a really good tasting hybrid that seems to be impervious to heat, humidity, bugs and diseases. Key for me is the flavor. I've tried a lot of "heat resistant" hybrids that tastes like cardboard. Ugh.
The reason they have remained so popular throughout the years is because they're a great tomato for all areas and climates and produce a large, good tasting crop of tomatoes.
