It has been 19 years since Mark Grace suited up for the Chicago Cubs. Before we had Anthony Rizzo and Derrek Lee, we had Gracie manning first base for many seasons. And he indeed was as consistently as good of a hitter as you can get. His 7,156 at-bats in a Cubs uniform are 7th all-time on the franchise list and third-most among Cubs first baseman.
A lot of recognition has to be given to the man who had more hits (1,754) than any other baseball player in the 1990s. Think of all the great hitters of that decade.
