Dennis Manoloff has been a sportswriter at The Plain Dealer
since August 1990. He covers primarily pro sports. He has written on
more than 15 sports/activities, including cricket and curling. He has
covered two World Series, several PGA and LPGA championship events, the
NBA Finals, MLB and NBA All-Star Games, and the NFL playoffs. He was on
the field and hit by a bottle during the Bottlegate game at Cleveland
Browns Stadium in 2001. Among his beats was professional indoor soccer;
the Crunch won three NPSL titles in the 1990s. Because pro indoor
soccer does not count as "major" sport, Dennis, who grew up in Bay
Village and graduated from Bay High School, has not seen a Cleveland
team win a championship in his lifetime. He once coached former Browns
punter Dave Zastudil, a Bay High graduate, in baseball. Zastudil punts
for the Arizona Cardinals. In 2001, Dennis, a Northwestern University
graduate, wrote a 25-piece "Talking Baseball" series that ran weekly
during the season. The Plain Dealer nominated it for a
Pulitzer Prize in explanatory journalism. He is also the author of the
book "From Andrews to Zastudil" which features some of his favorite
question-and-answer interviews with notable sports figures.
Zack Meisel is a sports writer for cleveland.com.
A native Clevelander and graduate of Solon High School and The Ohio
State University, he has covered the Cleveland Indians for five years.
He also covered Ohio State for four seasons. In third grade, he wrote a
piece about Randy Johnson and Kenny Lofton engaging in a
benches-clearing brawl, which sparked his interest in one day becoming a
sports writer. That career path was confirmed as a good idea when he
found it impossible to throw harder than 70 mph in high school. Meisel
has written two books: 100 Things Indians Fans Should Know & Do
Before They Die and The Ohio State Buckeyes Fans' Bucket List.
Terry Pluto is a sports columnist for The Plain Dealer.
He grew up in the Cleveland area, attended Benedictine High and
Cleveland State University. Pluto was the baseball writer for The Plain Dealer from late 1979-84. He also spent 22 years at the Akron Beacon Journal before returning to The Plain Dealer
in 2007. Pluto also writes about religion and has many books published
on both topics. Terry is also a member of The Press Club of Cleveland
Journalism Hall of Fame (Class of 2005) and the first recipient of The
Press Club of Cleveland's Chuck Heaton award (2008).
