Mark Grace


He is our broadcaster now. He is such an idiot, but I love him. He makes watching some of the really boring games pretty entertaining with his off the wall comments. I watch pretty much every Dback game. Plus he helped us win the world series in 2001. I love Gracey.

Being a Cubs fan, Gracey is my all-time favorite player. 17 is my favorite number to this day (as seen on my name).

17 has been a good number for the Dbacks in our short history. Both Mark Grace and Brandon Webb wore it.
