John Kruk A Great Phillie And A Great Person❤️

[@JimWelsh-f6l]

Excuse my French I fuckin love John KRUK. Am a 64 year old man born and raised in north Philly. And the first time I saw John come up to bat for the Phillies. He said something to the catcher And umpire and they both started laughing hard. Never knew what he said but for them to laugh like that. I thought this is one really cool dude. And him sliding into a base am sure you just saw him face plant into the dirt and come up short of second base. But he became one of the best hitters in Phillies. And John is still with the Phillies doing play by play. And watching a Phillies game now days. There's nothing like it. One of the best lineups in baseball. One of the best teams in baseball and the great John KRUK to tell us stories about when he played or just about whatever. I laugh during the Phillies games now and I go crazy while the Phillies keep on winning.

John Martin Kruk (born February 9, 1961) is an American former professional baseball first baseman and outfielder. Kruk played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the San Diego Padres, Philadelphia Phillies, and Chicago White Sox from 1986 through 1995. During his career, he was a three-time MLB All-Star. After retiring as a player, Kruk became a baseball analyst for ESPN. He is now a color commentator for Phillies' games on NBC Sports Philadelphia.

I'm so glad that he's a commentator for the Phillies. He's so funny.

[@LogicMind99]

Always can count on Kruker to tell it like it is.

[@greghinch]

This is great, would be great to see the whole thing from the beginning!

[@samcorcoran470]

I never knew he was on Letterman. I have never seen Dave laugh like that.

[@sirmelancholia]

He made three appearances on Letterman’s show

[@SusanFahrnbach]

Love him!!! Kruker is the BEST!!

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Love Kruk!!

[@robertogutierrez2897]

As a Phillies and Padres fan, I love Kruk! He made watching both teams so much more "interesting". My favorite Kruk story: One day a woman came up to him and said, "You don't look like an athlete." John responded, "Lady, I ain't no athlete...I'm a baseball player!"

[@mnw1989]

Kruk's mullet is epic !

[@HughMungus4655]

3:00 kills me every single time looooooool

[@michaelmachos8969]

Great hitter.

“ I’d go to war for you guys, I wouldn’t invite you over for dinner, but...”

[@user-nu4um2gr3d]

A year later that team they were joking on would win the pennant.

[@stephensaltau6481]

And go onto the world series

[@p.w.5199]

"Just because I can hit a baseball, doesn't make me an athlete"

[@johnnynephrite6147]

From 87-90 the Padres had some of the best players of the 90's come up through their organization. Too bad they pretty much did zero with them. Well they traded them away if that counts. They included Roberto Alomar, Bip Roberts, Sandy Alomar, John Kruk, and Benito Santiago.

[@barneybussey1150]

I knew him as a little leaguer. They intentionally walked him nearly every time. His name is pronounced "Crook", but the national media changed it.

[@johncirillo9544]

Kruk, the next Bob Uecker.

[@wildmercuryfilms]

Yes, in ‘92, they weren’t that good, but in ‘93 they were one of the best teams to not win The Series. They were called "throwbacks," "misfits," "rejects," "outlaws," "wild," and "crazy,” and they were almost Series Champs.

[@glevy17]

Not 1992. I’m from philly, jersey and his number changed in 92. Still a funny interview though hehe love kruk

[@mz4036]

This is definitely ‘92. He even mentioned how he didn’t get to play in last years all star game (which was ‘91)

[@MichaelSchwartz-cq1dy]

Yeah

[@danielrodrigues2041]

Kruck loved baseball!!! Beer! And Blow! Oh! And Hot Dogs! That's why I love him! Just kidding, he's a joke....
