SAN FRANCISCO, CA – FOX Sports Net has announced that San Francisco Giants color analyst Mike Krukow will join the Oakland A’s broadcast team of Greg Papa and Ray Fosse for next Thursday’s interleague match-up. The July 13th telecast of the game between the A’s and Giants will begin at 6:30 PM with the pregame show hosted by Glen Kuiper.
“When the A’s and Giants play, it’s one of our most exciting games of the year,” said Ted Griggs, Vice President of Programming and Operations, FOX Sports Net Bay Area. “The game draws interest from fans of both teams on both sides of the Bay. We thought it would be fun to have an expert analyst from each team.”
