Bob Ley
Bob Ley (born March
16, 1955 in Newark, New Jersey) is a sportscaster for the ESPN
cable-TV network.
After graduating magna cum laude from Seton Hall University with
a B.S. degree in Communications, Ley worked several minor
broadcasting jobs – including public address announcer with the
New York Cosmos soccer team – before landing his first major
position with the fledgling ESPN in 1979.
Ley is famous for breaking two of sports' biggest stories in
1989: the banishment of Pete Rose from Major League Baseball for
life, and the interruption of the 1989 World Series because of
the Loma Prieta earthquake.
A resident of Farmington, Connecticut, Ley currently hosts
ESPN's investigative program Outside the Lines. He did host
SportsCenter for much of his career at ESPN, returning on August
9, 2004 to host an "old school" edition with longtime partner
Charley Steiner.
Ley is one of only two original SportsCenter anchors still with
ESPN, the other being Chris Berman.
