13 WAS MY NUMBER




I learned how to Hit playing a little Game called “Strike Out”. That`s when you only had 4 Guys to play Ball with, or sometimes it was just yourself & another. We`d etch out on a wall a Strike zone, and then played. The Pitcher would be a best of times 60’ feet away, & wheel a Tennis Ball @ the Zone in an attempt to Strike you out. There were other “rules” we`d have, but the main point is this is where I developed my bat speed & eye for the ball.

I had always played in Leagues above my age group. I had an awesome Glove hand, (all that Road Hockey Goal tending with my Trapper), but I could hit the crap out of the ball. Probably why the Phillies were after me.

Playing with older guys caused me to make a number of adjustments to my Batting.

Problem: I`d get pounded inside on the hands, or a Curve Ball on the outside edge from a Lefty

Solution: I went for the Foot in The Bucket Stance, & to be honest because I was using lower body torque I was hitting the ball harder

 
Problem: I had this terrible drop down “Hitch” that would cause an upper cut swing...lots of Pop Ups & Strike Outs
Solution: I copied a “Hitch”, from Richie Allen, that I called a “Trigger Hitch”. This is when instead of dropping your Hands & Bat down, you moved your Wrists forward so the Bat barrel dropped forward instead of down...
MAN I LOVED PLAYING BASEBALL!!

GENEVA SOUND SYSTEM

I`ve been looking for a Micro System for some time now, that would accommodate a number of areas..
  • It had to be small & easy on the eye
  • It had to sound AWESOME !
  • It had to not only fit into our Kitchen setting, but also, have the ability to be moved outside
  • It had to accommodate my iPhone/iPod, but also have a FM tuner
  • It had to be One piece
Well I found it !! & it`s not BOSE !! it`s GENEVA !! This "puppy" rocks !! Sounds & Looks AMAZING !! & like Sammy says...I bought one !!

PARADIGM DRIVERS


HIGH FREQUENCY DRIVERS

High-frequency drive units provide outstanding extended frequency response, while Controlled Waveguide™ faceplates and grilles ensure exceptionally uniform high-frequency response throughout a wide listening window.
Dome materials vary from silk to the ultimate-in-performance pure beryllium domes employed in our majestic Signature Series tweeters. Whatever the material used in the dome however, the high-frequency performance of Paradigm tweeters is recognized by its hallmark integrity of the upper harmonics, uncanny accuracy and articulation … all a decided advantage in this era of extended bandwidth.
High-temperature voice coils, aluminum formers, ferro-fluid cooling and oversized magnets ensure high thermal capacity and power handling and permit the use of lower crossover points for superior off-axis response, lower distortion and longer service life.
 
BASS / MID RANGE DRIVERS

 
Bass/midrange drive units deliver remarkably coloration-free response. High-pressure die-cast aluminum chassis, boasting our AVS Airflow Ventilation System cooling, boost power handling and ensure ultra-low distortion and exceptional reliability. The aluminum also prevents ringing and flexing while serving double duty as an effective heat sink.
Advanced cone materials ensure smooth, uniform response. Nomex® spiders and surrounds in a number of highly effective base materials foster linear excursion, minimizing compliance-induced distortion. High-hysteresis butyl suspensions eliminate "edge-hole" distortion. High-temperature wire on multi-layer voice coils and Apical™ or Kapton® formers ensure sonic accuracy and improve long-term reliability. Metallized high-integrity dust caps are shaped to promote wide, uniform off-axis dispersion. FEA-optimized, magnetic pole pieces and metal top plates support extended cone excursion.
Focused-field magnetic assemblies ensure low distortion and consistent frequency response, even at high output levels.
