Video: Giants Fan Caught “Scopin’ Like a Big Dawg”

In the top of the fifth inning of last night’s Giants-Phillies game, Giant broadcasters Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow noticed a San Francisco fan (pictured, wearing orange Fear the Beard t-shirt) amidst a crowd of Philadelphians.

Later in that inning, they noticed that same fan noticing a second, more female, fan — which observation prompted Krukow to utter the words that have inspired (a) this post and (b) millions worldwide.

Some assorted observations:
• Mike Krukow has a Baseball Man voice. I’m not sure what the precise signifiers of the Baseball Man voice are, but one of them is probably “a marked aversion for the final -g- in the present participle.” Other purveyors of the Baseball Man voice include Mark Grace, (Padre TV analyst) Mark Grant, and Rick Sutcliffe.

• Were one so inclined to write a three- or five-page paper called something like “Masculine Identity in Baseballing Telecasts” using only this 17-second clip as source material, it could probably be done with some ease.

• Dawg or dogg: how would Mike Krukow spell it? how would you?
