SAN FRANCISCO, CA - NOV. 20: Renel Brooks-Moon, the San Francisco Giants' PA announcer since 2000, poses for a portrait at Oracle Park on Friday, November 20, 2020, in San Francisco, Calif. Brooks-Moon, 62, was born in Oakland and is a Mills College graduate. Brooks-Moon has been using her longevity and voice to call out inequities in the hiring practices of the Giants and in Major League Baseball in general. They're listening. (Yalonda M.
