My Take

What strikes me about Duane Kuiper is the arc of a baseball lifer. He wasn't a slugger by any stretch, yet he carved out a real big-league career at second base for Cleveland and the Giants, then reinvented himself behind the microphone as a beloved broadcaster. I have a deep respect for people like him, the ones who never leave the game but change how they serve it. To me, longevity in the booth is its own kind of greatness, earned through the eye for the game that only a former player has. A Wisconsin native who turned craft and voice into a lasting place in the sport.
