Warner Fusselle, the voice of the Brooklyn Cyclones, died of a heart attack on Sunday night, members of the minor-league baseball team said. He was 68.
Fusselle, a veteran radio broadcaster affectionately known as “The Fuse,” joined the Cyclones before the team’s inaugural season in 2001 and called nearly every game in the team’s history. He was preparing for his 12th season behind the microphone when he passed.
Longtime colleagues said Fusselle’s charm, baseball knowledge, and signature “Live from the Catbird’s seat” call — a tip of the hat to legendary Brooklyn Dodgers announcer Red Barber — before every game quickly endeared him to fans coming to Coney Island’s MCU Park.

He was 68.
Most recently the Voice of the Brooklyn Cyclones, Fusselle devoted his career to smaller-stage radio sportscasting, including Seton Hall basketball and several minor league baseball teams. And he gladly mentored young sportscasters as the go-to savant at Phoenix and MLB Productions.
