Dan Wismar is a Cleveland Heights native, and a lifelong northeast Ohio resident. Like a million other Ohio boomers, he idolized Rocky Colavito, Jim Brown and Paul Warfield as a kid, and like so many of us, he credits and thanks his Dad for his "fanhood". And though he's old enough to remember 75-cent bleacher seats and Ross Fichtner, he's still young enough to stay optimistic about this town and its teams.Dan has covered OSU sports for The Cleveland Fan since the Spring of '08, the attachment to the Buckeyes being as ingrained in him as the unhealthy Indians and Browns loyalties.  In whatever he writes on the local sports scene, he'll always try to bring to the reader the perspective of the home team fan in the stands.
