Description

Joe Tait is like a family friend to three generations of Cleveland sports fans. This book celebrates his Hall-of-Fame broadcasting career with stories from Joe and dozens of fans, media colleagues, and players. He was "the Voice of the Cleveland Cavaliers." But to fans, Joe was also "one of us." Cavs basketball, Indians baseball, or Mount Union football, he made the game come alive, and wasn't afraid to speak his mind--even when it might get him in trouble with the coach or the owner. He inspired a generation of young broadcasters, and phrases he invented became part of the common language of Northeast Ohio sports.These stories will make you feel like you're sharing a personal play-by-play recap with one of the best announcers in all of sports.

Great Read

Extremely enjoyable trip thru Joe Tait's career and his impact on the Cleveland sports scene. Fascinating insights on the characters who were major players in the drama. I could close my eyes and hear Joe doing a Cavs game or some of the other beloved broadcasters doing their thing...Nev Chandler, Drennin, Score, Shanley. The great artists who brought the action to us over the air waves. Thanks to Joe for sharing and Terry Pluto for delivering a very enjoyable read. Who said history is boring.

I had a ball!!

I had a ball reading this book. I was born in 1950 and have lived in Cleveland my whole life. Joe has been a major part of life for me. He was always there, and I didn't understand how he could be until I read this book. I understand now how hard he worked doing Cavs and Indians broadcasts through the 80's. I relived my life reading this book. I understand how Joe became disillusioned with pro sports. I love that he stood his ground, knew when to retire, and why. I love that he loved his work so much. What a joy! What a man!
