Bob Heussler

“Ranking The Great Sportscasters:

Golden Age to the Digital Age”

Some of the great events in sports history live on forever because a radio or television sportscaster masterfully captured the moment. We’ll revisit some of those events, learn more about the sportscasters who made them come alive, and rank the best to ever grace the booth.

Bob Heussler is a veteran radio and television sportscaster with over 35-years of experience working in New York and Connecticut. He was an update anchor for the country’s first all-sports radio station – New York City’s WFAN – for 30 years and remains with the station on a part-time basis. Heussler has a long association with the Fairfield University men’s basketball program as their radio and television play-by-play announcer, and was inducted into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 2024.  Heussler was the radio and television play-by-play announcer of the WNBA’S Connecticut Sun for 17 years, beginning with their inaugural season in 2003, and remains a back-up play-by-play radio announcer for the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets. He was a sportscaster for the Connecticut Radio Network for over 15 years, including several seasons as the radio play-by-play announcer for UConn basketball and football, and is a former network anchor at ESPN Radio. Heussler has instructed student broadcasters at Yale and Fairfield and was the longtime director of public relations at Milford Jai-Alai. A graduate of the University of Bridgeport, Heussler currently resides in Stamford. 

Our next speaker, on October 9, will be Laura Palmer, Executive Director of Innisfree Garden, in Millbrook NY, on "Innisfree: An American Garden"
