SUMMARY:WACC April Luncheon: Calling all sports fans\, Chamber Members\, and Friends
DESCRIPTION:Calling all sports fans\, Chamber members\, and friends.  Everyone is welcome to join us at our April luncheon featuring very special guest speaker\, Joe Tait\n\n	\n\n	\n\n	 Joe will be promoting his new book\, co-written with award-winning sports writer\, Terry Pluto: It?s Been a Real Ball?.Stories from a Hall of Fame Sports Broadcasting Career.\n\n	 \n\n	What made legendary sportscaster Joe Tait so special? Fans believed him. He was "one of us." 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 owners. He was a throwback\, a purist. Despite the bling and flash that has become so much a part of pro sports\, for Joe the game always came first.\n\n	Northeast Ohioans know Tait best as the voice of the Cleveland Cavaliers. He called the radio play-by-play from the team's first year in the NBA\, 1970\, until his retirement in 2011 (with the exception of two years in the early 1980\,s). His animated voice and no-nonsense announcing brought the excitement of the game home to listeners\, from the "Miracle at Richfield" to the LeBron James years. Many also fondly recall him as one of the best play-by-play announcers ever to broadcast Cleveland Indians games (1973 to 1987) and as the longtime announcer for Mount Union football.\n\n	His work inspired a generation of young broadcasters. Language he invented became part of the common broadcast language in Northeast Ohio. "Left to right on your radio dial" . . . "Wham\, with the right hand" . . . "It's a beautiful day for baseball!" . . . "To the line\, to the lane . . ."\n\n	The stories in this book will make fans feel like they're sitting alongside Joe enjoying a play-by-play recap of the remarkable career they shared together.\n\n	 \n\n	The book will be available for sale that day?these will make great gifts for Father?s Day\, graduations\, and for any gift-giving occasion for all of the sports lovers you know!  Joe will be available for a limited time to sign the books as well.
