Joe Tait, the voice of the Cleveland Cavaliers for two generations, dies at age 83

1. Sadly missed.

He did Indians broadcasts, too.

When I was a kid and budding cartoonist, while listening to a Tribe game on the radio with my dad on the back porch one summer evening, I drew a cartoon of Tait and his partner broadcasting a game. Unbeknownst to me, my dad went and sent it to him! To my surprise, I received a hand written thank you from Joe, written on hotel stationery from Kansas City. What a nice thing for hm to do. That letter got lost over the years, wish I’d kep better track of it.
