A super big thanks to David Linderman, Jeremy Fielding, Trent, and David Woodall (the welder). I realize most people who support Smarter Every Day don't do it for "transactional" reasons, (ie, I'll support Smarter Every Day to get stuff). I also realized that there is often a mental hurdle that must be crossed before support on Patreon starts. My thought is that I'd really like to give folks a baseball, and it might provide enough momentum to get over that initial hurdle. I signed the first shipment of baseballs I received, but I only have so many of those. There's no implication that my signature is worth anything.... it's just kind of what you do with baseballs... it's a tradition. After a certain number, it will transition to unsigned baseballs. I've got enough signed baseballs to over all existing Patrons, and many more, but I will wait a month or so to see how many I need to get, then I'll order the second batch. I like to support jobs and pay people for what they're good at. The machinists and welders who made the parts in this video for example. The whole intent here is to diversify away from solely being ad sponsored so I don't have to answer to anyone but myself and Patrons with respect to the types of content I choose to make. Thank you for understanding what I'm doing here, and even if you decide not to kick in at https://www.patreon.com/smartereveryday , I'm super grateful you took the time to watch this video! Thank you very much, Destin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GET SMARTER SECTION When I was younger, my favorite baseball players were Cal Ripken Jr. and Nolan Ryan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nolan_Ryan Nolan Ryan's fastball has been beat, but when adjusted for radar gun placement it may still be the fastest pitch ever: https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2015/04/22/fastball-pitching-documentary-mlb ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeremy Fielding's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_SLthyNX_ivd-dmsFgmJVg Tweet Ideas to me at: http://twitter.com/smartereveryday Smarter Every Day on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/SmarterEveryDay Smarter Every Day on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/smartereveryday Smarter Every Day On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/smartereveryday Smarter Every Day SubReddit https://www.reddit.com/r/smartereveryday Ambiance, audio and musicy things by: Gordon McGladdery https://www.ashellinthepit.com/ http://ashellinthepit.bandcamp.com/ If you feel like this video was worth your time and added value to your life, please SHARE THE VIDEO!
