CLEVELAND, Ohio – An ordinary day at school turned into one of the most memorable days of Peter Knab’s life, as Tom Hamilton, the Voice of the Indians, walked into Benedictine’s daily convocation and prayer session Monday morning.

Knab's inspiration is Hamilton. But for Hamilton, ever since he read the story, Knab is his inspiration.

The junior announces Benedictine’s baseball games in a wheelchair behind home plate where everyone can hear him. The wheelchair is used at school but walking canes are used at home. Both aid him due to a motor skills disability he's had since birth.

“For people like me, the heroes are Peter,” Hamilton said to the Benedictine student body at convocation. “I don’t feel I’m worthy (of being Peter’s inspiration).”

As Hamilton spoke to the students about how Knab can teach them so much about life, about following dreams, the 18-year-old held a smile on his face the entire time.

“I feel great!” Knab exclaimed as students approached him after the speech. “Did anyone know about this?”

After convocation, Knab and Hamilton went back to the Welcome Center to have their own conversation.

“I remember you talking about prom night on Friday’s broadcast when you said you were from a small farm town in Wisconsin,” Knab said to Hamilton.

"Wow, you really do listen" Hamilton said.

Knab let Hamilton know he really likes hearing Hamilton make the exciting calls. Getting to yell “BALLGAME!” at the end of a win, or announcing the Indians got a home run.

“Tell Tom how many of those you’ve gotten to call this year,” Benedictine baseball coach Brian Sliwinski said to Knab.

“Zero,” Knab said with a smile. Everyone laughed.

But he said his favorite part is the sense of humor Hamilton brings, which makes the tough games even enjoyable to watch, he said.

After a story last week about how Knab draws his broadcasting style from Hamilton, everyone in school would tell him he was a celebrity.

Knab’s response: “No, not until I get to meet Tom Hamilton.”

The day came and was full of joy for the young broadcaster. After sharing a conversation with his inspiration, joking around, and saying thank you numerous times for Hamilton coming to meet him, he also got some more news. Hamilton will arrange for Knab to come up to the booth after he starts work with the Indians in mid-June.

“I was so happy,” Knab said. “I can’t put it into words, that he would take the time to come visit with me.”

Hamilton felt the same about Knab.

“I’m the lucky one,” Hamilton said. “I got the privilege to meet him. He’s so positive. He’s just really impressive.”
