Kruk and Kuip’s Unbreakable Bond: Giants’ Legendary Broadcast Duo Continues to Defy Retirement
San Francisco Giants broadcasters Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper, both in their 70s, have expressed their intention to continue calling games indefinitely. In a recent interview, Krukow remarked, “You guys both know Harry Kalas, and you remember Richie Ashburn, and they were a great partnership. In 1982, when I was with the Phillies, I got to know them really well. And the way they went out is how we want to go out.”
Their enduring partnership began in 1983 when both joined the Giants, leading to a broadcast career that has spanned decades. Fans have consistently praised their chemistry and insightful commentary, with one noting, “For years baseball for me was Vinny calling Dodgers games and Kruk and Kuip calling Giants games.”
Beyond the booth, Krukow and Kuiper’s camaraderie extends to personal endeavors, including co-hosting the “Kruk & Kuip Podcast,” where they discuss the latest Giants news and share anecdotes from their careers.
As the Giants’ 2025 season approaches, fans eagerly anticipate another year of broadcasts that have become a cherished tradition, reflecting the deep bond and commitment of this legenda
ry duo.
