He was an MLB outfielder whose professional journey lasted from 1997 all the way through 2005. Over the course of his career, he suited up for several teams, including the Oakland Athletics, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Milwaukee Brewers, and later the Chicago Cubs. Before making a name for himself in baseball, he actually gained recognition as a standout basketball player during his high school years. That early success on the court showed just how talented he was across sports. Interestingly, his father was Tom Grieve—a well-known figure in baseball circles—who not only played for the Texas Rangers but also managed the team before transitioning into a long-running broadcasting career with them. Growing up with that kind of background certainly shaped his path, and it’s no surprise he ended up in the big leagues too. He really carved out his own legacy while carrying on a family tradition in the world of professional baseball.
