This Duo should be in the Hall of Fame together.
Please let them get inducted at the same time.
i agree
Jon Miller too
@@orangeflaws8088 Jon is in the HOF...
@@orangeflaws8088 Jon’s already in it
I’d watch every minute of a 20 hour documentary on these guys
Many times over.
Why stop at 20 hours?
They’re just as important to us fans as the players are. This video was heart warming .
The people who really love baseball essentially really love their baseball announcers. That's one of the big things different about baseball and other major sports. The announcers are a crucial part of the game.
Can’t think of any players who I've watched/listened to in every giants game in my life. IMO they're more important than most players.
More. I miss these guys already, and I'm going to watch them tonight! We Love Kruk & Kuip!!!!
After decades of waiting for the Sacramento Kings to be a championship team, my wife and I started watching Giants baseball with Kruk and Kuip in the early 2000s. We knew nothing about the game, but got hooked because of these two. They taught us baseball and are Giants fans because of them. When that great ESPN news story came out a couple of years about the bond between these men, my wife said: "They make you fall in love with the game."
They really do. I grew up watching the giants and listening to these two talk baseball. They were really a part of my childhood
still waiting on the kings…
And the really do. I can’t imagine rooting for another team and a big reason is bc of them
I met Mike Krukow back in the 3Comdlestick days. I was playing catch with a friend outside the players’ parking lot when I saw him get out of his car. I yelled out ‘Hey Krukow! Can I get your autograph?’ He signaled to the guard working the gate to let me in. When I got to him I held out a baseball in my right hand for him to sign, and this is what he said:
‘Young man, put that ball in your other hand.’ I did what I was told.
‘Now, hold out your right hand…’
I held it out and he gave it a firm hand shake and said ‘I’m Mike Krukow. It’s a pleasure to meet you!’
I don’t remember anything after that because I was blown away by that. Much love and respect for that guy!
there is no debate, they are the best. the whole crew is amazing. we are very spoiled
Except Dave
Kuip is awful
@@kaivaughn3782 To each his own. Kuipers dry sense of humor is the perfect foil to Krukow, that's why they work so well together.
@@kaivaughn3782 shut the hell up
@@wilbarnes7295 you had the better reply of the two
MVP Baseball 2005 introduced me to these guys. Awesome duo.
our favorite broadcasters
Kruk and Kuip are truly an institution for the ages. They have made Giants baseball special for so many years.
Krukow and Kuiper are loved not only by the fans, but by the team. They deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. They're basically part of the Giants family.
As a dodgers fan i love these men til the day i die, so many special calls and moments, ima be sad asf when they retire
No fan that has ever heard Duane Kuiper with Mike Krukow will forget those voices and especially "IT IS OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Holding back the tears.....thank you, ALL OF YOU, for being the voices of the G Men! Krukow and Kuiper, I have your Giants Cards, John Miller with such an authoritative tone, Shawn Estes- the first game ball I could have had was from you when you hit a 2 bagger vs Colorado and the the ball popped up into the seats at Pac Bell Park....I looked down at the ball between my feet, and I picked the ball up and gave it to the Schoolboy sitting next to me....I come from New Zealand, and I will NEVER get another chance again. My Mother passed away before the Giants began their 3 World Series tilt....on behalf of us all, thank you!!!!
Hands down these are the best broadcasting duo on Baseball. They are legends
They are so great. A lot of players come and go but Kruk and Kuip remain constant. Such a joy to listen to even when the team is having an off year.
i've listened to kruk and kuip broadcast giants games my whole life, i swear i can't listen to anybody else during the games. :)
Greatest duo of all time
Kruk is great but Kuip is awful
These two are just as important to giants fans as the players
Kruk and Kuip of course Señor Miller also the biggest reasons I became a Giants fan ! Everyday gets better in the end knowing I support a quality organization it's fan base, players dedication, broadcasters, and overall it's brand !!!! Go Giants
I was taught the Giant way, born in San Jose, Giant fan since about 1995 is when I started watching most games. I love the history of baseball, I am a relative of Mel Ott, my grandfathers name was Ed Ott, and my late father and his father loved the Giants. I fell in love with Duane and Mike. Duane I cant tell you how much I think of your voice, how much I think of your absolutely inhuman ability to call a games moments, you are hands down the best ive ever heard, the best whos ever done it, just the best period, you are the GOAT. Mike... You in your own way are the GOAT, your passion is unrivaled for a team, you are the heart and soul of the Giants in every single way, and you are one of the most loving and funniest people ive ever gotten to know. Baseball is an everynight thing, you watch 150+ games a year if you are me, you fall in love with the voices, the storytelling, the family love and appreciation thats showed, the overall baseball iq, which has made me a better baseball enthusiast, These class acts are the most genuine amazing people in the business. I love you two more than any players, more than possibly the Giants brand itself. Thank god we have you guys, for the ups and downs, and you deserve all the accolades you will get.
I moved to the PNW, and over the time I have been here, I have come to realize the world outside Giants world respects us, they respect what we did, and they respect Duane and Mike. Knowing that makes me feel much better.
2 years ago I was in SF working my first stab at being a fedex driver. Mission bay route on one of my training days I ran into Mike krukow on the way to a stop at a new apartment. Recognized him instantly. Got to shake his hand & everything. Grew up listening to him the kuipers Jon Miller Joe buck all those guys. Fun days. Thanks for the memories.
Everytime you listen to these guys call a game, not only are they the best in baseball but you learn something new during every game, they educate you on what goes through the mindset of being a player....giants games wont be the same when they retire they are a national treasure
I'm 41... I played into college... These two taught me the game on a different level. They are my baseball story in so many ways and they are very much part of why I love this special game so much.
They need to be inducted into Cooperstown NOW!!
For context: I am from Poland🇵🇱, in our country baseball - to say at least - is niche. My first contact with Kruk&Kuip was legendary videogame MVP Baseball 2005. Outside from entertainment value, I used it as a tool for learning basic baseball rules. When I learned that the commentators are from regional TV, not from national TV, I was surprised. But I learned baseball basics, "swiiiiiing and the miss" and "it is outta here" got into my brain. My next step was watching some highlights and games. I saw Barry Bond's HR hits with charismatic calls "it is outta here". I learned that there were done by p-b-p guy from MVP Baseball. I watched a lot of other highlights. And, in long story short, I became a fan of Kruk & Kuip (and a lot of other regional and national announcers). And baseball of course. I am happy that K&K were able to announce SF Giants win in World Series. I wish them all the best. Greetings from Poznan, Poland!
they are the best!
Mike and Duane belong in the Hall together!
They will always be my favorite. I saw them as players and quickly became my favorite broadcasters. So hard to think of them not being together for every game. They set the bar very high. Thank you both for all the games we've shared together.😷✌️🥎
So lucky we are to have these guys in the booth for so many years
Best announcers EVER!!
Well, something to aim for, I'm sure.
The best there is, Kruk and kuip, thank you for your sense of humor and your knowledge of the game.
3.6 thousand views and no dislikes, you already know this is good
I grew up watching the SF Giants with Mike and Duane- they are the best
One things I love about both Kruk and Kuip, is not only the way in which they call the game, but in the moments they're silent, especially when listening to them on the radio. You can immerse yourself into the atmosphere by hearing all the noises of the crowd.
These two are the reason, that when our team goes to postseason, we should be hearing our announcers calling the game. They are simply the best, and no network could ever find a better pair to call a game. But… then every other teams fans would come to understand what they don’t get when they listen to their team play. Hall of Fame announcers, no question!
Listened to these two ever since I was only four. It's going to be a really sad day when both of these guys retire, they were absolutely legendary.
Heck yeah. (No swearing, just for Kruk!)
Same ukulele in my picture as I played in McCovey cove in my inflatable kayak for Pence's last Giants home run. I brought it out there just for you, Kruk! Thanks for saying nice things about me on TV.
I grew up listening to you guys on knbr 680 with my dad on the back porch. Lots of good memories thanks to you both.
I learn more form Kurk watching baseball than any other broadcaster
Simply the best! Love all of our broadcasting crews 👏
We love you guys, you have no idea how many friends you have that you just haven’t met. It’s obvious how much you love this game and how much you’ve given back.
Go Giants
Blessed to listen to them, they make the game even more fun.
2 LEGENDS! Give them their 🌹
The best to ever do it. Kruk and Kuip makes Giants baseball better.
THE BEST ! SF FOR LIFE
Best mlb broadcasters ever to live. Dave Niehaus, Vin Scully, Donald Sterling, Michael Kay cannot compare. not a chance. Kruk and kuip are so funny, relaxed, and helped create arguably the greatest culture ever.
When these guys leave, I may shred a tear. Grew up listening. Im glad Dave B. FLEMMING is still here
These guys feel like they are family I love them so much
Some of the best to call a game
Kruk and Kuip make Giants baseball that much more fun and exciting. They're the best.
The best to ever do it!! 🐐🐐
Love these men.
They are Giant icons.
Giants fan or not those two guys are the best in baseball.
They really are great! I follow 6 teams every season, the GIants being one of them, and these guys are always a treat for me to listen to even after all these years.
RIP, Loved these guys! Thanks for all the memories through the years.
RIP who? no one is dead 😂
Watching and listening to this video made my heart warm and swelled up with great memories before during and after for the next generation keep up with FANTASTIC FAMILY Broadcasting for all baseball fans of the game!!!
I miss baseball
I used to watch a lot of Saturday baseball and a lot of times I would love to listen to Joe garagiola and Tony kubek do a game until I came out here to the West Coast and about 30 years ago I heard my first broadcast with Dwayne been a big fan ever since these two guys are the best he and Mike krukow
3 world series titles and kruk, kuip and miller on the broadcasts. what a decade!
best in the business
The Giants will never be the same again after Kruk and Kuip!!! Legends Forever!!! You guys have been a major contribution to fan retention over the years!!! Love you guys!!! He hits it highyyyy.... He Hits it deeeeeep, IT'S OUUUTAAAAHHHH HEEEEERRREEEEE!!! :)
The Russ Hodges and Lon Simmons of my childhood.
They mean more to me than words could ever explain! Love you both so much!
I grew up with Vin Scully and Kruk and
are just as knowledgeable and fun to listen to as Vinny! 🧡🧡🧡
Awesome video of Mike and Duane! Thank you for sharing.
These two should be in the HOF easily
Happy Birthday Mr. Kuiper!!!👍😄⚾
I grew up listening to them. It's going back.. way back... it is outta heereeee!
Who is disliking this??? These guys are goats!
🐐🐐🐐
kruk & kuip Are the best anouncers ever
The best to ever do it. I hope they get in as Ford C. Frick Award winners together someday soon
Kuip, Kruk and Miller best Giants commentators, broadcasters, players and jokesters. If you ever go to a Giants game, expect to be on TV.
It says a lot when a dodgers fan can go from Scully to seeing the giants broadcasters as a rival fan and not lose quality in broadcaster one bit. These two are the standard
I am not a Giants fan at all, but these guys were the announcers of my childhood when i played countless hours of MVP Baseball 2005 on Gamecube.
It would be great to get a World Series run for these guys
The absolute best In the business. Giants announcers top Notch
Shawn Estes is awesome as back-up/second player here.
I’m a Red Sox fan from California but i love Kuip. Such an iconic voice… too bad him and Jon Miller aren’t in the booth together… wouldn’t that be something. That would be an entertaining giants game every night!!
This was very cool and interesting. I would love to see more
When are they winning the Ford C Frick Award?
I got a mike krukow card for my birthday and I was so excited
Dwayne kuiper is the smoothest broadcaster that ever graced the baseball community
I was introduced to these guys from MVP 05!
1st they should be in MLB the Show
2nd when these guys are done, it will never be the same again! So enjoy and appreciate the hell out of this!!
Get well soon Duane Kuiper.
two of the best at there craft
Love Kruke and Kuip. Best in the biz!
EASILY the best in the business.
Prayers for Kuip!🙏🙏🙏
im gunna miss them
I need one of those 3 ring hats!!!
Thank you for commentating one of my favorite childhood video games
Simply The Best!!✨✨✨
We don’t deserve them 😭😭😭😭
The best in the business.
Easily the two best announcers in baseball...ever. Leading up to this certainly Harry Caray and Jon Miller and Joe Morgan...certainly Vin Scully. Duane and Mike are the best and educating new fans as well as veteran fans/players. They are simply the two best ever in the game. Thank GOD they announced in SF.
Legends
Duane and Mike are my honorary uncles
