The one with ‘Mr. Ranger’ himself, Tom Grieve

Welcome to SportsDay Rangers!

Long-time Dallas Morning News Texas Rangers beat writer Evan Grant has teamed up with Rangers senior advisor and team historian John Blake for a new podcast. Our two hosts bring nearly 70 years of combined experience covering the Rangers to the pod.

Each week, Evan and John will be joined by at least one guest from the Rangers’ past or present. They’ll dive into some historical items, talk about the state of the current team and, most importantly, try to have a little fun.

This week the guys dispel with current Rangers talk and the archives because when Mr. Ranger is available, you give him the floor. Tom Grieve sits down for a conversation about his 55-year career with the Rangers, which, of course, includes Ted Williams talk, but also his transition to GM and the single biggest innovation of his tenure, which brought the Rangers waves of talent from Latin America.
