If you're a Detroit Pistons or Cleveland Cavaliers fan -- you'll know who Fred McLeod is...
I received a text this morning from Matt Freeman (Irish Sports Daily) that my friend had died of a heart attack last night. The news was a shocker for me.
I mourn through storytelling -- so let me share with you my favorite Fred McLeod story.
Fred and I became friends during his time in Detroit. We would often play golf at Walnut Creek Country Club in Wixom, MI -- where I had a membership. Our conversation one day centered on Fred's desire to get the Cleveland Cavaliers' play-by-play role for TV.
