S-F Radio: KISQ-FM Personality Is MLB's Only Female PA Voice

Renel Brooks-Moon

Baseball has always been a huge part of Renel Brooks-Moon's life.

As a young girl growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, her parents Nathaniel and Juanita planned family outings around San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics home games. Yet, she tells NBC News,  never in her wildest dreams did Brooks-Moon envision she would one day be announcing baseball games for the San Francisco Giants.

Fifteen years ago, Brooks-Moon created her own baseball legacy when she was named the public address announcer for the San Francisco Giants. Although she had already established herself as one of the Bay Area's most popular on-air radio personalities, with a morning show on iHR's  KISQ 98.1 KISS-FM, and a career spanning over 25 years, becoming the only black female PA announcer in Major League Baseball, was, she says, "a dream come true."


"My grandfather was a big fan of Negro League baseball and taught my mom how to score games, and she in turn taught me," Brooks-Moon says.
