No, that's not the line Joe Tait made famous when he was the radio announcer for the Indians during the late 1970s and '80s, but it's fitting for Wednesday's Cavaliers game at Quicken Loans Arena.
Tait marks his 3,000th game as the play-by-play announcer for the Cavs. He's been with the team for 35 years, missing just 2 of the team's seasons.
For me, Cleveland sports isn't sports without Joe Tait. I still miss him calling Tribe games, when each broadcast started with his trademark phrase, "It's a beautiful night for baseball." It could have been a rain delay, or 100 degrees, but it indeed was beautiful if Tait was calling the game.
His voice still booms as he follows each pass, steal and rebound, providing enough detail that it seems you're sitting in the stands watching the game.
I'll tune in to Wednesday's game and share in the moment, thankful that Tait's still the voice of Cleveland sports.
