He was inducted into the Cleveland Indians Distinguished Hall of Fame for non-uniformed personnel on August 11, 2012, prior to a game at Progressive Field.

When he was brought back up to the Naps' roster in 1910, they converted him to an outfielder, as team management did not trust his control at the major league level.

On August 17, 1920, Indians shortstop Ray Chapman, Graney's roommate and best friend, died after having been struck in the head by a Carl Mays pitch in a game against the New York Yankees the day before.

Graney was devastated, and suffered a breakdown upon viewing Chapman's body, having to be forcibly removed from the hospital room.

[4] From 1947 to 1953, Graney’s partner in the radio booth was fellow Ford C. Frick Award recipient Jimmy Dudley.
