Boivin: Addition by contrition; Diamondbacks booth better with Mark Grace

During his four-month stint in Tent City, Mark Grace watched a black widow spin a silk residence next to his bunk. It was an eight-legged metaphor of his recent life, a reminder that adversity is often a short hop away.

He knows now. And has persevered with the proper dose of contrition, which is why the announcement Wednesday that he would be returning to the airwaves was well-received by many fans.

He was trending on Twitter in Phoenix much of the day, and an azcentral Facebook post asking for reaction about his return was applauded by most.
