La Greca's first career highlight was clapping on the Howard Stern Show. Howard heard that Johnny Carson wouldn't take his seat unless the audience clapped loud for a comic after his set, so Howard had a comic do his set in the hallway. "Us interns had to clap. It was the first sound I made on the network radio."

La Greca began his career at Sports Phone, providing real time scores and updates to users by phone. La Greca covered all nine local sports teams while working with Sports Phone. He later worked as a sports anchor at 1010 WINS. La Greca also hosted a talk show on eyada.com.

La Greca has been with ESPN New York radio from its inception and was the first voice that listeners heard when the station launched on September 3, 2001. La Greca has also served as the official radio host of the New York Rangers' pre and postgame show since the 2005-2006 season.
