SAN FRANCISCO — Hank Greenwald stopped broadcasting for the Giants in 1996, but his voice echoes still.
You heard him over the course of three World Series victories since 2010. You heard him over the course of these past two dismal seasons.
You heard him whether you knew it or not. Because Hank Greenwald, who died Monday at age 83, lives on in the two smart aleck ex-ballplayers he mentored into becoming top-notch broadcasters.
“Every time we saw him, we always thanked him for being the guy who guided us to where we wanted to be,” Duane Kuiper said by phone Tuesday.
