Before announcing for the Seahawks, Gross called football and basketball play-by-play for the University of Washington in Seattle as well as for the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California. He was the play-by-play announcer on KIRO-TV Seattle SuperSonics telecasts from 1976–78. The Seahawks inducted Gross into their Ring of Honor in 1992, attending the ceremony just two days before his death.[1][2]
