Oracle Park Will Have a New Voice for the Giants

March 19, 2024 by Last Word On Baseball

San Francisco Giants PA announcer Renel Brooks-Moon is not returning for the 2024 season. Brooks-Moon and the Giants say it was a mutual decision. The booth at Oracle Park will be named in Moon’s honor in a future home game. She will now assume the role of public address announcer emeritus, the team said. With Opening Day less than two weeks away, the official release did not name a successor or who would lead the ceremonies on April 5.

“As a Bay area native, it has been the honor of my lifetime to serve on the mic, and in the community for the Giants for 24 years,” Brooks-Moon said in a statement. “My very first game on April 11, 2000, I shall never forget. Because the job has always been bigger than me. Representation matters, and it is my great hope that my time in the booth has inspired little girls, young women and people of color to pursue their dreams even if those dreams seem impossible because impossible dreams can come true.”

Renel Brooks-Moon, Giants Part Ways

Brooks-Moon left her job as an Emmy-winning television host to take over the job, previously held by Sherry Davis. She was on the microphone for many moments. There’s the Giants’ three World Series runs, Matt Cain‘s perfect game, and Barry Bonds‘ pursuit of baseball history. Brooks-Moon not only became the first female public address announcer for a World Series but the first woman to PA a championship game in any professional sport.

Since creating a path for female broadcasters, two other teams feature women as their PA announcers: Marysol Castrol of the New York Mets and Amelia Schimmel of the Oakland Athletics.

Brooks-Moon’s Career

Brooks-Moon started her broadcasting career in the early 1980s, working for various radio stations in the San Francisco area. Her dedication and talent garnered the attention of the Giants. It was enough for the club to hire her to become the second female public address announcer in MLB history. Beyond her work with the Giants, Brooks-Moon was involved in many community and charity activities. She served as a mentor to women and minorities seeking to break into the industry.

Throughout her career, Brooks-Moon received numerous accolades for her contributions to sports broadcasting and her impact in the community. In 2000, she was the recipient of the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame’s “Outstanding Achievement Award.” In 2017, she was inducted into the San Francisco State University Alumni Hall of Fame in recognition of her accomplishments in broadcasting.
