'''Mark Eugene Grace''' (born June 28, 1964) is an American former [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB) [[first baseman]] who spent 13 seasons with the [[Chicago Cubs]] and three seasons with the [[Arizona Diamondbacks]] of the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] (NL). He was a member of the [[2001 World Series]] champion Diamondbacks that beat the [[New York Yankees]]. Grace batted and threw left-handed; he wore [[Number (sports)|jersey number]] 28 and 17 during his rookie season of 1988, and he kept number 17 for the remainder of his career.

==Career==
===Amateur career===
Grace played high school [[baseball]] and [[basketball]] at [[Tustin High School]] in [[Tustin, California]]. After graduating from high school in 1982, he attended Saddleback College before transferring to [[San Diego State University]] to play for the [[San Diego State Aztecs baseball|San Diego State Aztecs]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-10-09 |title=Four-Time All-Star Reliever Takes Coaching Job at High-Level Collegiate Program |url=https://www.si.com/fannation/mlb/fastball/news/four-time-all-star-reliever-mark-melancon-takes-coaching-job-at-high-level-collegiate-program-san-diego-state-university |access-date=2024-12-31 |website=Fastball On SI |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Team |first=SDSU News |date=2022-03-28 |title=Aztecs Mourn the Passing of Legendary Coach Jim Dietz |url=https://www.sdsu.edu/news/2022/03/aztecs-mourn-passing-legendary-coach-jim-dietz |access-date=2024-12-31 |website=www.sdsu.edu |language=en}}</ref> At the age of 19, he was drafted in the 15th round by the Minnesota Twins but did not sign.

===Chicago Cubs===
The [[Chicago Cubs]] selected Grace in the [[1985 Major League Baseball draft]]. He spent three years playing in the Cubs [[farm system]] before making his major league debut May 2, 1988.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1988/B05020SDN1988.htm|title=Chicago Cubs 5, San Diego Padres 2|date=May 2, 1988|access-date=January 8, 2018|website=[[Retrosheet]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/gracema01.shtml | title=Mark Grace Stats }}</ref>

Grace starred on Cubs teams that included [[Ryne Sandberg]], [[Andre Dawson]], [[Shawon Dunston]] and [[Sammy Sosa]] and was a consistent, steady hitter, compiling 2,445 hits and more than 500 doubles during his 16-year career and for a few years batted clean-up for the Cubs. He had a career [[on-base percentage]] of .383 and collected four [[Gold Glove Award]]s and was a three-time All-Star (1993, 1995, 1997). Grace collected the most hits (1,754) and doubles (364) of any player in the 1990s.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/grace-gets-most-hits-in-1990s/|title=Grace Gets Most Hits In 1990s|publisher=[[CBS News]]|date=October 3, 1999|accessdate=June 9, 2023}}</ref> Grace and [[Pete Rose]] are the only Major League Baseball players to lead a decade in hits and not be in the [[Baseball Hall of Fame]]. Grace also had the most sacrifice flies in the 1990s with 73.

Grace helped lead the Cubs to the [[National League East|NL East]] division title in 1989 and the NL [[Major League Baseball wild card|wild card]] in 1998. In the [[1989 National League Championship Series|1989 NLCS]], Grace batted .647 in the five-game contest with a home run and three doubles, while driving in 8 of the 16 total runs scored by the Cubs in the series.

Grace led the team in average (.325), OBP (.393), hits (193), walks (71), doubles (39), and RBI (98 – a career high) in 1993 and was selected as an alternate to the NL [[Major League Baseball All-Star Game|All-Star]] team for the first time in his career. He also [[Hitting for the cycle|hit for the cycle]] on May 9 that year,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1993/B05090CHN1993.htm|title=San Diego Padres 5, Chicago Cubs 4|date=May 9, 1993|access-date=2008-07-28|website=[[Retrosheet]]}}</ref> with no other Cub hitting for the cycle again until Carson Kelly did so on March 31, 2025. In 1995, Grace hit .326/.395/.516 and hit 51 doubles (which led the NL). He was once again named to the NL All-Star team.

The song that played most frequently on the [[Wrigley Field]] [[organ (music)|organ]] prior to a Grace at bat was "[[Takin' Care of Business (song)|Taking Care of Business]]," which Grace explained was due to his [[bit part]] in a [[Jim Belushi]] [[Taking Care of Business (film)|film of the same name]].

===Arizona Diamondbacks===
Grace signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks on December 8, 2000, with a $6 million, two-year contract after the Cubs declined to offer salary [[arbitration]]. The deal included a mutual $3 million option year in 2003. He received $5.3 million in his last season with the Cubs but accepted less money for the opportunity to live year-round at his home in suburban [[Scottsdale, Arizona]] with his family. "For me to remain a Cub, the Cubs would have wanted to want me back and the Cubs would have had to win," Grace said at the time. "Neither of those happened and I'm one proud Diamondback now."<ref>{{cite news|title=D'backs sign Grace to two-year contract|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/nl/diamondbacks/fri.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010126174800/http://usatoday.com/sports/baseball/nl/diamondbacks/fri.htm |archive-date=January 26, 2001 |work=USA Today |date=December 9, 2000 |access-date=May 12, 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Grace wore his familiar number 17 in Arizona where he played for three more seasons, including helping the Diamondbacks win the [[2001 World Series]]. Having never even visited [[Yankee Stadium (1923)|Yankee Stadium]], he belted a home run there in Game 4 of the series.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thebaseballpage.com/players/gracema01.php |title=Mark Grace |website=thebaseballpage.com |via=archive.is |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://archive.today/20060507165433/http://www.thebaseballpage.com/players/gracema01.php |archive-date=2006-05-07 }}</ref> In Game 7, Grace led off the bottom of the 9th inning with a single — his third of the game — off Yankee pitcher [[Mariano Rivera]], which rallied the Arizona Diamondbacks to a come-from-behind victory for the franchise's first championship. 

During a 19–1 defeat by the [[Los Angeles Dodgers]] in September 2002, Grace pitched one inning of relief.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/2002/B09020ARI2002.htm|title=Los Angeles Dodgers 19, Arizona Diamondbacks 1|date=September 2, 2002|access-date=January 8, 2018|website=[[Retrosheet]]}}</ref> He surrendered one run on [[catcher]] [[David Ross (baseball)|David Ross]]'s first career home run. Grace also impersonated teammate [[Mike Fetters]], who from [[Pitching position|the stretch]] would take a deep breath and then quickly turned his head towards the catcher.

On September 26, 2003, Grace announced his retirement from baseball.

===Coaching===
Grace has stated a desire to [[Manager (baseball)|manage]] a major league team at some point.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/16411435/why_not_grace_for_white_sox/ |title=Why not Grace for White Sox? |first=Barry |last=Rozner |newspaper=[[Daily Herald (Arlington Heights)|Daily Herald]] |location=[[Arlington Heights, Illinois]] |date=October 3, 2003 |access-date=January 9, 2018 |via=newspapers.com}}</ref> He was considered for the Diamondbacks' managerial position following the 2004 season,<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/16411530/grace_wont_manage_but_hopes_to_stick/ |title=Grace won't manage, but hopes to stick around |first=Bob |last=McManaman |newspaper=[[The Arizona Republic]] |location=[[Phoenix, Arizona]] |date=October 22, 2004 |access-date=January 9, 2018 |via=newspapers.com}}</ref> but the Diamondbacks hired [[Bob Melvin]] instead.

Grace spent 2014 as [[hitting coach]] for the Diamondbacks' [[Class A Short Season]] affiliate [[Hillsboro Hops]] of the [[Northwest League]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.milb.com/content/page.jsp?ymd=20130124&content_id=41152180&sid=t419&vkey=roster|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140810142858/http://www.milb.com/content/page.jsp?ymd=20130124&content_id=41152180&sid=t419&vkey=roster|url-status=dead|archive-date=August 10, 2014|title=Hillsboro Hops Field Staff|access-date=2014-08-08}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Smith|first=Jeff|title=Hillsboro Hops: Former All-Star Mark Grace joins new manager J.

==Broadcasting career==
After his retirement as a player, Grace continued his involvement in the game as a television [[color commentator]] for the Diamondbacks and for [[Major League Baseball on Fox|Fox Saturday Baseball]]. Grace used off-the-wall terms—such as "slumpbuster," "never-say-die-mondbacks," and "Gas!"—during broadcasts. He was paired with [[Thom Brennaman]] on television from 2004 to 2006, and was paired with [[Daron Sutton]] from 2007 to 2012.

Grace also agreed to a deal with [[Fox Sports (USA)|Fox Sports]] in 2007. He originally rotated between the studio and the number three booth. He was then promoted to the number two booth with [[Thom Brennaman]] for the 2008 and 2009 season, and [[Dick Stockton]] for the 2010 season. He reunited with Brennaman in 2011 before leaving the network at the end of the regular season. He was replaced by [[Eric Karros]] who had worked on the number three team with [[Kenny Albert]].

On August 24, 2012, Grace requested an indefinite leave of absence from the booth, and at the end of the 2012 season, the team announced that he would not be returning for the 2013 season.<ref>{{cite web|last=Marotta |first=Vince |title=Daron Sutton, Mark Grace out as Arizona Diamondbacks broadcasters |url=http://arizonasports.com/42/1579872/Darron-Sutton-Mark-Grace-out-as-Arizona-Diamondbacks-broadcasters |work=Arizona Sports |publisher=arizonasports.com |access-date=9 November 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121114075709/http://arizonasports.com/42/1579872/Darron-Sutton-Mark-Grace-out-as-Arizona-Diamondbacks-broadcasters |archive-date=14 November 2012 }}</ref>

In February 2017, Grace was named as a baseball analyst for Diamondbacks games by [[Fox Sports Arizona]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/mlb/diamondbacks/2017/02/15/mark-grace-named-diamondbacks-pregame-postgame-analyst/97939742/ |title=Mark Grace hired for TV role with 'organization I really love' |first=Nick |last=Piecoro |website=[[The Arizona Republic]] |date=February 15, 2017 |access-date=January 8, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainermag.com/blog/2017/03/30/saving-grace-d-backs-hero-mark-grace-returns-to-fox-sports-arizona-as-game-analyst/ |title=Saving Grace: D-backs' hero Mark Grace returns to Fox Sports Arizona as game analyst |first=Christina |last=Fuoco-Karasinski |website=entertainermag.com |date=March 30, 2017 |access-date=January 8, 2018}}</ref>

==Personal life==
Grace was known to smoke cigarettes before and after Cub games, and reportedly at times, during games in the clubhouse.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.si.com/mlb/2010/01/21/wagner-grace | work=CNN | title=Grace emerged from Steroid Era with more than his integrity | date=January 21, 2010|accessdate=January 28, 2024}}</ref>

On August 3, 2006, Grace led the [[Wrigley Field]] crowd in singing "[[Take Me Out to the Ball Game]]" during the [[seventh-inning stretch]] of the second game of a [[doubleheader (baseball)|doubleheader]] between the Cubs and Diamondbacks; his appearance helped to improve his relationship with the Cubs, which had been strained since he left the team after the 2000 season.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/16425090/back_in_good_graces/ |title=Back in good graces |first=Paul |last=Sullivan |newspaper=[[Chicago Tribune]] |date=August 4, 2006 |access-date=January 10, 2018 |via=newspapers.com}}</ref>

Grace became eligible for the [[National Baseball Hall of Fame]] in 2009; 75% of the vote was necessary for induction, and 5% was necessary to stay on future ballots. Grace received 4.1% of the vote and was dropped from further ballots.

Grace's ex-wife, Michelle, was married to [[Ray Liotta]] from 1997 to 2004; they had met at a Cubs game.<ref name=Pottstown-Mercury-Narc-2003>{{cite news|last1=Longsdorf|first1=Amy|title=Ray Liotta finds intense adrenaline rush in 'Narc'|url=http://www.pottsmerc.com/article/MP/20030122/TMP05/301229966|access-date=January 6, 2016|work=[[Pottstown Mercury]]|archive-date=November 19, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151119204947/http://www.pottsmerc.com/article/MP/20030122/TMP05/301229966|url-status=dead}}</ref> As of 2006, Grace is divorced from his second wife, Tanya, who starred on the [[VH1]] show ''[[Baseball Wives]].''

Grace lived in [[Antioch, Tennessee]], during a period of his childhood years. He currently resides in [[Paradise Valley, Arizona]], with his sons Jackson Gene and Preston Torre.

===Legal history===
Grace has been arrested twice for [[driving under the influence]]; once in May 2011 and once in August 2012.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.markgrace.com/otfalcohol.html |title=Battles with Alcohol |website=markgrace.com |access-date=January 8, 2018}}</ref>
