Mike Krukow, the longtime voice of the San Francisco Giants, announced Thursday that he will step down from the broadcast booth at the conclusion of the current season, concluding nearly four decades in professional baseball [1]. The 74-year-old broadcaster stated: "I will be retiring at the end of the season" [1]. Giants President and CEO Larry Baer responded to the news, describing it as "a deeply emotional moment for our Giants family" [1].
Krukow's retirement marks the end of a distinguished career that spans from his playing days as a pitcher through his tenure as a radio and television broadcaster [1]. During his time as a player from 1976 to 1989, he compiled a 124-117 record with a 3.90 ERA across 14 seasons, including an All-Star selection in 1986 when he won a career-high 20 games [1]. The Cubs selected him in the eighth round of the 1973 draft [1]. As a broadcaster, Krukow was part of the Giants' championship broadcasts during the franchise's three World Series victories in 2010, 2012, and 2014 [1].
The Giants organization will honor Krukow's career with a celebration during the team's final regular season game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on September 27 [1]. Krukow has dealt with a rare degenerative muscle disease [1].
