Only a couple minutes into talking with reporters about being inducted to the Cubs Hall of Fame together, and maturing as major leaguers together, Mark Grace couldn’t fight the urge to put his arm around Shawon Dunston.
“It means everything to me, because this is my buddy,” Dunston said.
Even as Grace prefaced that his selection for this honor is “the best thing that’s ever happened to me in my professional career,” the pair quickly digressed into memories of their nine seasons together on the Cubs infield.
