Greer’s success at Oklahoma continued when he was called up by Texas. He batted.314 and had ten home runs over 80 games. This made him the second Ranger to achieve this feat. (Ruben Sierra was first to do so on June 1, 1986 in Kansas City). He also played a significant role in the history of baseball against the Anaheim Angels, July 28, 1994 when he caught Rex Hudler’s flyball and made a diving catch to preserve Kenny Rogers’ perfect game. He made many more such catches throughout his major-league career. Greer also caught Gary DiSarcina’s fly ball in the game’s final out.

Greer was raised in Albertville, Alabama and went on to play college baseball at the University of Montevallo. Prior to the senior-year all star game, Montevallo was the only college that was interested in Greer. However, he decided to stay at Montevallo because they originally offered him a scholarship. Greer worked as a resident assistant in Napier Hall while at Montevallo. He was their tenth-round selection (279th overall) during the 1990 amateur draft. The rest of his season was spent playing for the Rangers’ rookie-level minor-league club in Butte. The Rangers would be his home for the next 15 years of his professional career, an accomplishment that was rare among professional ballplayers due to free agency.

Greer cooled off slightly in his second season, batting .271. However, in 1996, he had one of the best seasons of his career, batting .332 (fifth in the American League) and having his first of three 100-RBI seasons.
