Texas Rangers television analyst Tom Grieve is slated to retire at the end of the season.
Grieve has been with the Rangers broadcast team for 28 seasons. Rangers managing partner Tom Schieffer said listening to Grieve was “like going to the game with a friend”.
Grieve worked with Josh Lewin from 2002-2010. Lewin told The Dallas Morning News Grieve “made it so ridiculous easy because he had no ego. He was so accommodating. I was a bull in a china shop, and he was the kindly uncle I didn’t know I needed. He showed me what it was to man up.”
He became a broadcaster after a nine-year MLB career with the Washington Senators, Texas Rangers, New York Mets, and St. Louis Cardinals. He also served as General Manager of the Rangers from 1984-1994. He worked full-time on broadcasts from 1995 through 2017, before splitting duties with C.J. Nitkowski.
