In the early years of the network, he served as host of the Inside Baseball weekly magazine program, which evolved into the current Baseball Tonight program on ESPN.
Grande graduated from the University of Southern California in 1969, where he played baseball for four years and was a member of the Trojans' team that won the 1968 College World Series.
While at USC, he played with 14 future Major Leaguers, including Hall of Famer Tom Seaver and slugger Dave Kingman.
