TOM DECKER - Inducted in 1993
Tom Decker called the action as the radio Voice of the Red Wings for eight seasons from 1954-61. Decker was behind the microphone for a pair of Governors' Cup championship ballclubs in 1955 and 1956, describing the exploits of Red Wings greats like Bob Gibson, Luke Easter and Boog Powell. Broadcasting live when the team was at home and re-creating games from the Western Union ticker when the team was on the road, Decker served as the eyes and ears for a generation of Red Wings fans. He remained a high profile voice - and face - in this town as an on-air talent for WROC TV 8.
