Ted Williams Gets Job


The Homeless man with the golden voice got a job with the Cleveland Cavaliers and good he should. When you have a voice like that he should have a voice in Radio.

“The Cleveland Cavaliers just offered me a full-time job and a house! A house! A house!,” repeated a stunned Williams, 71, 53, on local radio station WNCI. [video of the latest interviews below]

A caller to the show who said she represented the Cavs offered Williams a full-time job doing voiceover work for the team and parent company and a free home in Cleveland.

The Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, native trained to be a radio announcer before drugs and alcohol ruined his chances at a career, and he was reduced to begging on the side of a road in Columbus, Ohio, before the newspaper found him.

Local police would refer to Williams as “Radio man,” when chasing him from his usual begging spots, where he earned around $30 an hour, Williams said.

Pretty good deal for someone who was asking for change days before.
