In honor of Wayne Gretzky's 60th birthday on Wednesday (Jan. 26), I put together some of my favorite Gretzky moments!
#5 - Facetiming with Wayne at Kid Rock's house in March of 2021. Rock bet me he would answer...I lost that bet. It was pretty cool. The only time I'd ever spoken with "The Great One."
#4 - Steve Black gifting me an autographed Gretzky stick for my 25th anniversary at WRIF. It hangs proudly in my Rock Room.
#3 - Wayne scoring 50 goals in 39 games...
#2 - Gretzky turns over the puck in the neutral zone, Steve Yzerman scores game winning goal over the St Louis Blues. Every Red Wings fan remembers that one. An absolute rocket by #19!
#1 - The last game he played. I taped it on a VCR tape and watched it in my apartment in Farmington Hills. Legend!
