FL) and again in 1975.  He added two more National titles with the Windsor Mic Macs (1978 & 1979) while he began his senior baseball career with the storied Windsor Chiefs which lasted for 13 seasons.  During that span he helped the Chiefs to National crowns in 1982, ’84, ’86, ’88 and was a player/coach in the 1989 Canadian Championship finishing with another title in 1991.  All told as a player Paradis is credited with 15 Ontario and 10 Canadian Championships.
