Bob Heussler 

“Greatest Connecticut Athletes.”

‍

Connecticut may be a small state geographically but it has produced an extraordinary number of exceptional athletes. Name the sport and the chances are good that a Connecticut native has left his or her imprint upon it. From multi-sport stars such as Bobby Valentine to Olympic gold medalists like Dorothy Hamill, sportscaster Bob Heussler will examine their stories, explore the communities that nurtured them and rank them in order of impact and legacy.

Bob Heussler is a veteran radio and television sportscaster with over 40-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 also worked as an anchor for the CBS Sports Radio Network and ESPN Radio. 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. He 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 the back-up play-by-play radio announcer for the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets. Heussler has been an instructor of 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, he currently resides in Stamford.
