Warner Fusselle, who had been the Brooklyn Cyclones’ play-by-play announcer since the team’s inception in 2001 passed away Sunday night of an apparent heart attack at the age of 68.
The Cyclones have been one of the Mets short-season Class A affiliates for the last 11 seasons.
“We are deeply saddened by the news of Warner’s passing,” Cyclones general manager Steve Cohen said in a statement. “There is no one who knew more, or cared more, about baseball in Brooklyn than Warner. His distinctive voice, knowledge, and endless passion for the game enriched Brooklyn Cyclones baseball for our players, staff, and fans from day one, and his presence will be sorely missed.”
Fusselle, a veteran of both the Korean and Vietnam wars, was the voice of “This Week in Baseball” and also called St. John’s baseball and Seton Hall basketball games during his career in New York.
