Tom Grieve joins us this week. Tom was a 1st round draft pick in the 1966 MLB draft by the Washington Senators. In fact, Tom and his son Ben were the 1st father-son team to both be drafted in the 1st round. He made it up to the Big Leagues in 1970, then in 1972 to stay. Tom was a streaky hitter and finally got a chance to play regularly when Frank Lucchesi became the Texas Rangers manager in 1975-1976. Tom talks about his career as a player, then after baseball, he discusses his career as the Rangers' GM, then their color analyst for many years when we go Back When There Was Baseball.
