Legendary Kruk and Kuip Continue to Show Their Heart Off the Field with Support for Cancer Patients
San Francisco Giants legends Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow affectionately known to fans as “Kruk and Kuip” have long been celebrated for their voices in the broadcast booth and their passion for the game. But once again, the beloved duo has proven that their impact extends far beyond baseball.
This week, Kruk and Kuip turned their attention to a cause close to countless families, stepping up to support cancer patients through a charitable initiative. With both financial assistance and personal outreach, the Giants’ broadcasters offered comfort, encouragement, and resources to those battling the disease.
The act was more than a donation it was a message. By showing up, listening, and sharing their own experiences with adversity, Kruk and Kuip reminded patients and their families that they are not fighting alone.
“They’ve always been the heart and soul of Giants baseball, but this just shows the kind of human beings they are,” one fan said after news of their involvement spread across social media. “It’s about caring for people when they need it most.”
Krukow, who has been open about his own health struggles in recent years, and Kuiper, a cancer survivor himself, know firsthand the challenges patients face. Their compassion and authenticity made their outreach resonate even more deeply.
The Giants organization applauded their efforts, noting that the two are as much a part of the fabric of San Francisco as the team itself. Beyond the wins and the championships, Kruk and Kuip have embodied a commitment to community and humanity.
For decades, fans have cherished their humor, camaraderie, and storytelling during games. Now, through this charitable act, they’ve shown that their legacy will also be defined by the kindness and hope they bring off the field.
As Giants fans often say: Kruk and Kuip don’t just call baseball they call life, with heart.
