GUNNAR WIIG - Inducted in 2001 Radio Announcer Gunnar Wiig was the first Red Wings announcer and truly a radio pioneer. Wiig is known for recreating road games via Western Union Telegraph. His broadcast allowed fans to hear the Red Wings take the two final games of the 1928 season to win their first pennant since 1911. His popularity here was evident when thousands of Red Wing fans petitioned to have Gunnar announce two games of the 1933 World Series between the New York Giants and the Washington Senators over the CBS Radio Network. Coming soon. |
