SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Longtime San Francisco Giants play-by-play announcer Duane Kuiper is taking a leave of absence due to a medical condition.

Kuiper issued a statement this morning saying that he'll be taking time off after being diagnosed with a condition that requires immediate chemotherapy. The 70-year old did not elaborate on what the condition is. But he says he does plan on getting back in the booth this year, and that he's staying positive for a quick and full recovery.
