Longtime Giants broadcasters Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper were honored in an emotional final joint broadcast at Oracle Park on Sunday, Sept. 26, 2026. The pair opened their last Giants telecast together, trading signature lines including a take on Christian Koss' foul non-homer, "one of us is going to quit if that's not a homer." Krukow, a former Giants pitcher, received personal tributes on the field and in the stands; his son Wes called him "the Dolly Parton of San Francisco." Social posts captured widespread sadness and gratitude, with viewers posting memories and urging Hall of Fame recognition for the duo. The ceremony came amid a dismal Giants season that posts placed at 65-97 and discussion that the club finished near 96 or 97 losses. Many commenters described the final broadcast as required viewing and a fitting send-off for a longtime announcing team.
