After 24 seasons, the Giants and their longtime public address announcer “mutually and amicably” separated.
Renel Brooks-Moon in her 20th season as the public address announcer of the San Francisco Giants poses for a photograph at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calf., on Saturday, July 6, 2019. SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — For the first time in its history, the voice of the San Francisco Giants’ waterfront ballpark will not be Renel Brooks-Moon’s.
“As a Bay Area native, it has been the honor of my lifetime to serve on the mic, and in the community for the Giants for 24 years,” Brooks-Moon said in a statement. “My very first game on April 11, 2000, I shall never forget because the job has always been bigger than me.
When she left her career as an Emmy-winning television host to take the job, no stadium had previously featured a woman’s voice over its public address system. In 2002, Brooks-Moon became not only the first female public address announcer for a World Series, but the first woman to PA a championship game in any professional sport.
“Renel has been the familiar and inspirational voice for generations of players and fans at Oracle Park,” Giants President and CEO Larry Baer said in a statement. “As an ambassador for the organization and a respected leader, Renel has been a Giant voice in the ballpark and in the community, and will be a Forever Giant. It will be a fitting tribute to name the PA booth in her honor.”
