eaglepride Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 Any Orangefield posters know what Granger is doing these days? What a high school stud he was, probably the best all around athlete I ever saw personally. Lost track of him after A&M and am just curious.
Guest Rgranger Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 He is actually a stock broker in arlington, without a drug problem. I should know I'm his older brother.
eaglepride Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Posted September 22, 2006 Thanks Ranger. Jaws I wish you would edit that a little.
Coach 18 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 Jeff is a class act living in Arlington! He is making big bucks and helping support his older brother Bobby!
Cat22 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 I deleted JAWS post. That was uncalled for.
Coach 18 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 Thanks for the deletion. Jeff is a class act!
Cat22 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 Jeff was probably the best overall high school athlete I ever saw. He was an high school all american in football and baseball. Most people remember him as a great pitcher which he was, but he also tied the national high school record for consecutive games with a hit and was third in the 400 meters at the state track meet. At one time he held the A&M strikeout record, not sure if he does anymore and I think he was something like 10-2 as the Aggies starting quarterback. He was a gifted athlete that only come around once in a blue moon.
Guest kosmo Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 He would have led OF to the state title had a certain freshman not been caught stealing at third for the last out of the game...with Granger on deck, no less. That ought to bring back some nice memories for the OF crowd. It sickens me, and I don't even go to that school.
AHUDDLESTON Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 I was umpiring when he played. We held two or three meetings over his move to first base. We all know that left-handers always balk on their move to first . He was one of the best with his glove right at chin level.
shermdog Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 Did Jeff marry his college sweetheart? I worked with Jeff at A&M. Just curious. A stock broker, he was never that serious.
sticky Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 I remember he pitched against Keith Foulke (Redsox great) in the first round of the playoffs. 1-0 or 2-1 OF win.
JAWS Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 I must have stated that wrong because i know jeff was a class act. Everyone has things in their life they regret I should know but once again i apologize if i offended anyone. I think those that make mistake should be up front about them because it take a strong person to overcome them. Good luck to Jeff and all his family.
lonestar Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 Hey Rgranger let your brother know he still has a lot of fans in Aggieland!
