Gerry Sandusky, a Baltimore native, tackles all the sports news for WBAL-TV 11 Sports, where he has served as Sports Anchor since 1988.

His chosen profession is no surprise, since Gerry literally grew up with a ball in his hand. His father's career with the Baltimore Colts and the Miami Dolphins, made football and sports and integral part of the Sandusky family.

Gerry graduated from Towson State University, and got his first break as a sportscaster at WSVN in Miami.

Gerry was honored with an emmy in 1992 for his story on the uncertain future of Memorial Stadium. He won a second Emmy in 2003 for a tribute special to the late Johnny Unitas. Gerry has also won two Edward R. Murrow awards.

In 1993, Gerry and his wife founded the Joe Sandusky Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted to raising money and granting scholarships to financially needy students from Baltimore. He and Lee Ann started the foundation in memory of Gerry's brother who died from complications of pneumonia in 1978.

Gerry and Lee Ann have two children and live in Baltimore County.
