ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -Texas Rangers television analyst Tom Grieve, who was also a player and general manager in the organization, will have prostate surgery next month.
Grieve will broadcast the team’s games through June 8, a day before his scheduled surgery. He expects to be out of the booth for two to three weeks after surgery.
“Many men my age find themselves in this situation,” said the 60-year-old Grieve. “I am told the odds for a complete recovery are very good.”
Grieve has served as the TV analyst on Rangers broadcasts for 14 years. He was the team’s general manager from 1984-94.
As a player, Grieve was picked in the first round of the 1966 draft by the Washington Senators. He made his major league debut with the Senators in 1970, and was with the franchise when it moved to Texas in 1972. He played with the Rangers through 1977.
His son Ben Grieve also played in the major leagues, from 1997-2005.
