In the heart of January, where the snow and wind nip the noses of everyone young and old, it was nice to talk baseball and the boys of summer. And for a good cause, to boot.

The WAKR Speaker Series brought the long-time voice of the Cleveland Indians, Tom Hamilton, to St. George Fellowship Center in Fairlawn for an hour-long sit-down on all things Tribe. Hosted by Sr. Vice President of Public Affairs, Bob DiBiasio, the conversation touched on the team itself to the hot stories going on around baseball. Hamilton, a Wisconsin native, talked about his rise to calling major league games, to recapping the last decade of Indians baseball, the hiring and impact of Terry Francona, to how the Tribe will look in the 2020 season.

Proceeds from this event benefitted the Salvation Army of Summit County. Major Stephen Stoops kicked off the broadcast with WAKR’s Ray Horner, and he discussed the outreach the local Salvation Army has in the Greater Akron community.

The entire broadcast has been made available below via SoundCloud.

Make that 21 wins in a row for the Cleveland Indians, an American League record for consecutive victories. This is a feat that has not happened in nearly a century, and it takes a team effort.

Tom Hamilton, the voice of the Tribe, joined the Ray Horner Morning Show to talk about what he has seen from the broadcast booth. Hamilton believes the Indians turned their season around in the month of August, when they had to face a number of above.-500 teams, which he says was a separator. He points to the two starts against Chris Sale where the offense “manhandled” the Cy Young hopeful.

Going forward, the Indians’ voice talked about what to expect when Jason Kipnis and Andrew Miller are healthy, as well as if fans will see Michael Brantley again this season.
