Gerry Sandusky retires after two decades as voice of the Ravens
Longtime Ravens radio announcer Gerry Sandusky has retired. Sandusky has been the Ravens' play-by-play voice since 2006. He announced today that he is leaving both his job with the Ravens and his job as sports director at WBAL.
"This isn't a decision I made lightly," Sandusky said. "I have loved sharing the stories that shape Baltimore sports with viewers, and I have loved every minute of sharing Ravens games with listeners. But the time has come for me to pass those batons and pour more of my attention on my family.
I want to thank every viewer and every listener who shared this journey with me. It's been an honor. And yes, for my broadcasting career, 'The hay is in the barn.
' And it feels right. " The Ravens recognized Sandusky's efforts today. "As the 'Voice of the Ravens,' Gerry brought a distinct flavor and aptitude that captured every emotion of Baltimore football," Ravens President Sashi Brown said.
"While Gerry's in-game knowledge was second to none, it was his exceptional talent to 'illustrate with words' that truly sparked a long-lasting connection amongst our fans. From thrilling championship victories to agonizing defeats, Gerry witnessed it all — consistently doing so with a style marked by professionalism, passion and Maryland pride. " Sandusky is not related to the former Penn State assistant coach and convicted child sexual abuser Jerry Sandusky.
