[edit] Biographical Information

Mike Krukow's best year by far by was 1986 when he went 20-9 with the San Francisco Giants before arm trouble began to plague his career. Krukow came up with the Chicago Cubs in 1976 where he was a starter for five seasons. Cubs manager Preston Gomez had a habit of mispronouncing his name as "kook-row." Krukow's uncle, Tim Ryan, played in the Pittsburgh Pirates chain in 1949.

Krukow has been a broadcaster for the San Francisco Giants since 1994. Among other things, he became noted for his use of insider slang.

He is perhaps the third-most prominent major league player to come out of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, behind Thornton Lee and Ozzie Smith.
