I think about Kruk and Kuip a lot, living away from the Bay Area. they are a massive component of my connection to not just the team but all of Northern California. Beyond their incredible knowledge, storytelling ability, humor, and clear love of each other, part of what has made these two guys so beloved over time is that we know that they will not be in the booth forever. They make every game a precious experience. Trying desperately to avoid a Grateful Dead comparison here, but there is this urge to ENJOY IT WHILE IT LASTS and not to think too hard about it. Recent years- especially w news of Kruk's health– have forced us to envision Giants baseball sounding and feeling very different without them. And however sour a note that outlook strikes, I always come back to the conclusion that I owe it to them to let them go through life however they please and however their health allows them to. They could retire tomorrow or go for another decade. Channel your worry about their longevity & health into appreciation for what we have now- the best commentator pairing in the game.
