Greg Lucas

He has called over 4000 sporting events including major college football, basketball, baseball plus his work with the pros and a total of 25 different sports.

His first book, "Baseball-Its More Than Just a Game" was based on materials he had collected and used in broadcasts and telecasts and as part of pre-game and other special programs over his long active career. He is not finished writing. His second book, "Houston to Cooperstown: The Houston Astro's Biggio and Bagwell Years" highlighted the growth of the Houston Astros with a focus on the careers of the team's two Hall of Fame Players. A project on basketball history is in the works as well.

A native Midwesterner from Kokomo, Indiana, Greg got his career started while getting his undergraduate degree from Butler University in Indianapolis.

"My style is to present little known, but interesting facts and anecdotes from sports history in a basic manner, but showing their relationship to the big picture. I try to also lead the reader to use my work as a door-way for their own further reading or research. At the same time the books are meant to be strong enough to definitely stand on their own and be fun and informative at the same time."--Greg Lucas
