In 1947 Gregg pitched very well in relief for Brooklyn, especially in the 4th game when Bevens was hurling his 8 2/3 innings of no-hit ball only to lose in the 9th. Gregg had entered in the 1st and pitched 7 strong innings to hold the Yankees to 2 runs, working out of some tough jams and keeping Brooklyn in the game. Since Brooklyn's manager had completely mishandled the pitching staff, continually using starters in relief, there was only Gregg ready to start game 7; the lanky right-hander thus joining the ranks of (among others) Mathewson, Gibson, Dean, Koufax and Walter Johnson. Gregg, on two days rest, didn't pitch badly but still lost, giving up 3 runs in 4 innings. He threw 12 innings in the series with 10 strikeouts including DiMaggio, who seldom struck out.
Gregg died in Bishop, California, at age of 69. Bishop is a city in Inyo County, California, USA The population was 3575 at the 2000 census
