~ ❤️ JIm Donovan Battling Leukemia, Again ~
-
About ten years ago I was working in downtown Akron and my coworker says "Jimmy Donovan!", I turn around from the back of our work truck and there's Jim Donovan, with his wife and daughter. 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. ?

That was so great to see Jim Donovan get a game ball, you could see how much it meant to him.

That is so true ! 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.

That's sad! I always thought he did a good job; and I always got the impression he was well respected.

God bless Jim. He was even he voice of the Browns for the media published during the dormancy of the mid to late 90s.

Siciliano grew up in the Washington D.C. area, but is a lifetime Browns fan. His dad is from NE Ohio, and raised his kids to root for the orange and brown.

It looked staged and poorly acted. Safe bet Jim knew the call was coming. Camera in his face and all.
I love Jim Donovan though. He is literally in my top 3 of voices l love hearing coming out of a radio. He’s truly special man, one of the best that ever was imo. I loved hearing him call games. He was on point and enthusiastic and genuine, he enunciated near Alex Trebek levels, and his voice was quite frankly pleasing to listen to.
Phil “the human battering ram” Dawson is great in his own right. My favorite kicker ever.

As a Cleveland sports fan, I can honestly say we've been blessed with some phenomenal radio guys for all the teams. Joe Tait was obviously a legend for the Cavs, and I really enjoyed Nev Chandler and Casey Coleman along with Donovan of course. Some of our older fans here remember Gib Shanley fondley I'm sure. Herb Score literally was the voice of summer for me growing up, and I'll fight anyone anywhere that Tom Hamilton is the best baseball radio announcer anywhere.
I kind of wish I was going to the game this Sunday to see him get inducted, but then again, getting all weepy in public sucks.
