The importance of a positive outlook is just one thing Baker Krukow learned from his father, a Major League baseball player.

Krukow, a 2007 graduate of the Reynolds School of Journalism, recently wrote a story for the San Franciso Giants Web site on what it was like to grow up with Mike Krukow – former Major League pitcher and current color analyst for the Giants – as a father.

“Dad realized a long time ago that in order to last in baseball, you have to find the upside," Krukow writes. "That attitude carried over into the broadcast booth and into our house."

Krukow lives in Reno and works for Nevada Lighting Representatives.
