Krukow has been an announcer for the Giants for 36 years after serving as an All-Star starting pitcher for San Francisco for seven seasons.
"I just want to let everyone know that I will be retiring at the end of the season. I want to take this time to thank you for your incredible support," Krukow said through the Giants, per ESPN. "Jennifer and I have been so blessed to be able to stay in the game for as long as we have and it's really made it impossible to feel sorry for myself that my career is coming to an end."

Giants Honoring Krukow on Sept. 27
The Giants announced it would honor Krukow's career with a celebration on Sept. 27. It will be when the Giants host the Los Angeles Dodgers for the final regular season game at Oracle Park.
"While we knew this day would eventually come, Mike Krukow stepping away from the broadcast booth is a deeply emotional moment for our Giants family," Giants President and CEO Larry Baer said in a statement. "On behalf of our extended Giants family, I want to express our profound gratitude for everything Kruk has given - not only to this franchise, but to each of us personally. For decades, he has shared far more than his voice. He has been our spiritual leader.
"With his beloved and inseparable partner Duane Kuiper, he has taught generations of fans about baseball, brought us inside it from the perspective of a Major League pitcher and called every game with incredible insight, unmistakable humor and genuine heart."
