San Francisco Giants Broadcaster Says He Won't Miss Ex-Player at Team's Reunion: 'I Think Aubrey Huff Blew It'

Following the announcement that the San Francisco Giants would not welcome former player Aubrey Huff to their 2010 World Series Championship reunion, the teams' broadcaster and former pitcher, Mike Krukow, said he won't miss him.

"I think Aubrey Huff blew it, and I think him not being included is something he needs to take to heart," Krukow said on KNBR San Francisco's Murph & Mac.

Asked on the radio show if he will miss Huff at the event, Krukow responded, "Me personally? No, no."

The Giants said in a statement that they would not be inviting Huff to the 2010 World Series reunion because of controversial comments he made on social media. Huff was an integral part of the Giants' 2010 World Series championship and helped them win it again in 2012.

"Earlier this month, we reached out to Aubrey Huff to let him know that he will not be included in the upcoming 2010 World Series Championship reunion," the statement said. "Aubrey has made multiple comments on social media that are unacceptable and run counter to the values of our organization. While we appreciate the many contributions that Aubrey made to the 2010 championship season, we stand by our decision."

In November 2019, Huff posted on Twitter a picture of himself holding a shooting target at a gun range. His caption read, "Getting my boys trained up on how to use a gun in the unlikely event @BernieSanders beats @realDonaldTrump in 2020. In which case knowing how to effectively use a gun under socialism will be a must. By the way most the head shots were theirs."

Additionally, Huff criticized the Giants after they hired Alyssa Nakken, who became the MLB's first female coach. "Couldn't imagine taking baseball instructions from an ex female softball player. Have fun with that @bcraw35 @bbelt9 @BusterPosey," Huff wrote.

Following the Giants' announcement that Huff would not be invited to the World Series reunion, Huff presented his side of the story on Twitter.

"It's true. Three weeks ago I had a call with Larry Baer CEO of the San Francisco Giants. He took me by surprise when he told me I was unanimously voted against attending the 2010 Giants World Series Championship reunion," Huff wrote. "When I asked why I wasn't invited he told that the board didn't approve of my Twitter posts, and of my political support of Donald Trump."

Krukow was not the only person affiliated with the Giants organization to speak on the team's decision to exclude Huff from its reunion. Pablo Sandoval, a Giants third baseman and Huff's teammate during the 2010 season, said he will not be sad that Huff was left out.

"It doesn't surprise me," Sandoval said, according to Henry Schulman, a Giants beat writer at the San Francisco Chronicle. "Sometimes you have to see both ways. Other things you put out there affect your future. I don't have anything against Aubrey. I hope he learns a lesson."
