Kind of weird when you run into someone you've seen for years upon years on TV, but in person. We've been blessed with some great announcers in this town. Tait for the Cavs, Chandler, Coleman and Donovan for the Browns, Hamilton for the Indians/Guardians. Ditto.. I knew it was him because he was in town for a book signing. Dave Thomas, yeah that Dave Thomas who founded Wendy's. Limo? Hell no, regular car that he was driving himself. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been absolutely spoiled by some of the best in the business ...... both radio and TV, INDIANS, BROWNS and CAVALIERS ! We are so glad Jim D. is back where he belongs ..... behind the mic.
