They Kuiper brothers share many traits. Both were professional baseball players before making the switch to sports broadcasting, both settled in the Bay Area and both became the adored voices of two longstanding rival baseball teams.

Michelle Kuiper, his wife of 36 years, passed away on February 20, 2022. Duane and Michelle have two kids together. His son Cole is married to Rachel Jensen Kuiper, and his daughter Dannon is wed to Zack Rease. Andy and Kit, two grandchildren of Kuiper, were born in 2019 and 2021, respectively.

Glen Kuiper: A career in broadcasting

A broadcaster for the Major League Baseball Oakland Athletics, Glen Kuiper was born on May 20, 1963. In addition to occasionally calling games for the Athletics Radio Network, he is the principal announcer for A's games on NBC Sports California.

The commentator for the Oakland Athletics recently expressed regret for using what appeared to be a racist slur while discussing a visit to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.

On Friday night, before the A's faced the Kansas City Royals, Kuiper discussed a trip to the museum with colleague Dallas Braden on NBC Sports California. However, it appears that Kuiper mispronounced the term "negro," making it sound like a slur.

Kuiper later apologized on the radio without going into detail.
