What the Hell is a Kringle? I'll Tell You What a Kringle Is!
Duane Kuiper was a major league ballplayer, an alum of the Cleveland Indians and San Francisco Giants from 1974 - 1985; a lifetime .271 hitter with a decent glove. He's one of a few in major league baseball lore to have a substantial career in the number of years he played in the "show" but only a single home run to show for it. Upon retirement from the game he found his calling literally calling games, becoming the Giants TV play-by-play broadcaster teamed with another former Giant, his old teammate Mike Krukow. They've been a tandem since 1993. Although I'm a true blue Dodgers fan, I appreciate the Giants TV broadcast team, and consider them one of the best in the game. Baseball, though, is only peripheral to this story. While not a Giants fan by any measurement, I would watch the Giants broadcasts to get my National League fix, largely rooting against them as a general rule (remember I bleed Dodger Blue). Whether you like a team or not is inconsequential
