About the Author

Joseph Werner continues to provide further evidence that Jim Bouton was right when he wrote, “You spend your life gripping a baseball, and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time.” As a lifelong Indians fan, Werner’s lived and died multiple times over. First with the original revival of Cleveland baseball in the mid-90s, then languishing through the lean years before having his hopes dashed again in recent seasons. All along the way, though, he’s heard two of the greatest radio voices in the game: Herb Score and Tom Hamilton. Despite his youth at the time, he proudly — and somewhat embarrassingly — remembers falling asleep with his arms clutched around a portable radio as Score made his last radio call during Game 7 of the 1997 World Series. Werner continues to submerse himself in the game he passionately loves; be it on the playing field, in the dugout coaching the next generation, or writing about it. After serving as a video scout/analyst for Baseball Info Solutions, he began writing at his original site, ReleasePoints.com. He’s since transitioned into his current niche, prospect analysis, at ProspectDigest.com. And, of course, the lure of Cleveland baseball – as it always does – brought him back to ItsPronouncedLajaway.com, a member of ESPN’s SweetSpot Network. Werner has been fortunate — and incredibly blessed — to have some of his work published and mentioned by several major media outlets, including: ESPN, Beyond The Box Score, and the Baseball Research Journal. He can be reached at: JosephMWerner@yahoo.com. Please feel free to drop him a line and let him know what you think of the book.
