True story. As a kid I grew up idolizing this man. I would send him my most prized card sim mail and he would sign them and send them back. The highlight one time was I forgot to enclose stamps and he wrote me a letter letting me know always include stamps lol. Amazing Grace! More hits than anyone in the 1990s should be a honorable mention for Hall of Fame!
The Cubs should have retired his #17 back in the early 2000's. The boy got More Hits and doubles than any other player in the 90's. That alone should get Grace in the Hall...I remember reading in the Chicago Sun Times back in 1989. They were calling Grace the next Bill Buckner...what a hell of complement.
I was so honored to meet Mark Grace at a signing event in Merrillville, Indiana! I had to ask Mark if he got his World Series Home Run Ball back when the Yankee Fans threw it back he said “Hell Yeah I Did”. I was like NICE!!😂
You'll always be my favorite Cub Mark. This was great and it's awesome to see you still got that sense of humor you've had since you came up with the Cubbies and that that memory still knows all those "Amazing Grace" stats.
That was fun. I’m a huge Cubs fan but had almost forgotten how great Grace was with the Cubbies. Thanks for reminding me, Marquee Sports! Can’t wait till Opening Day!!
I was in the bleachers for mark grace poster day. The game was terrible and the cubs were terrible so fans in the bleachers began throwing their posters on to the field. I was 12, I had collected as many posters as anyone would give me that day, threw em all on the track. They had to delay the game to sweep up hundreds of posters. What a memory
My all time favorite. Great eye no batting gloves or pads. Could pick it at first as good as anybody. Love ya Gracie!

I totally agree with you.
@@darrellmfume4020 Yes, I agree. And now Isaac Paredes is wearing #17. WTF!

He's got a damn good memory. Best hitter of the 90s and my favorite Cub.
Mark Grace was awesome. I watched his entire career. But best hitter in the '90's? No! He was not better than Tony Gwynn or Barry Bonds in the 1990's.
@@millypoo7713 Well he had more HITS than anyone else during the 90's so that's good enough for me!
Hello 👋 Mark Grace I'm glad your in the Cubs Hall of Fame

He looks so much like my uncle. And Kevin Costner, and Eric Clapton
Love this!

He's one of the best hitters / 1st basemen in the game.
The Hall of Fame's most glaring ommission.
Good stuff Gracie!
If you're not cheating, you're not trying -Mr. Mark Grace
Uncle Keith got taken deep
Damn. He got hit by future teammate Randy Johnson
