Happy Birthday wishes to long time announcer and 124 career game winner, Mike Krukow, born on this day in 1952.
Krukow had an excellent career as a starting pitcher with the Cubs, Phillies and the Giants. 1986 was his best year as he was 20-6 and finished third in the Cy Young voting.
After his retirement, he became a commentator with the Giants in the early 90's. He has been with them ever since and he and Duane Kuiper remain a very funny announcing duo for the Giants.
The Baseball Quote of the Day is one of the many funny Mike Krukow quotes.
"It's like Noah's wife told him--'Now, honey it's going to stop raining one of these days'."
--Mike Krukow, on the Giants losing a game 21--3
