RELATED: We have no reason to show you John Kruk’s 1993 Letterman ... of bubblewrap at one point or another. So Kruk dug deep, donned the hot-dog hat, and made the best of it.

You don’t get much of the old John Kruk on TV anymore. No more mullet. No more drinkin’. All the jocularity that seemed genuine anytime he showed up at Letterman has been systematically erased.
