Overview
- Krukow delivered his final broadcast on Sunday and took part in a postgame on-field ceremony at Oracle Park where the Giants revealed the “Kruk and Kuip Broadcast Booth.”
- He announced his retirement in August because a long‑running muscle disease has progressed to the point that continued broadcasting is unsafe and he used a motorized chair during the farewell.
- Duane Kuiper, who disclosed a recent throat cancer diagnosis and has been in treatment, attended the ceremony, spoke at the tribute, and received a standing ovation alongside Krukow.
- Tributes poured in from across baseball and the city, including a mayoral proclamation declaring “Kruk and Kuip Day” and on-air remembrances from rival broadcasters and teammates.
- Krukow leaves a multidecade legacy that began with 14 seasons as a major league pitcher and grew into 36 years in the booth during which he called three World Series for the Giants and became a defining voice for Bay Area fans.
