Mark Grace retiring

Just saw the ESPN news story on Mark Grace announcing his retirement.

I felt like the Cubbies letting Mark go was a mistake. What a perfect guy to train Hee Seop Choi, whom we were hearing about even in 2000.

And in 2001, what was the big thing we were missing before we picked up Fred McGriff? A left handed bat behind Sammy.

I'm glad Mark went to Arizona, though, and got himself a World Series ring. Mark's an old school player. He played the game right.

Here's an idea: Let Steve Stone and his consortium buy the Expos, move them to Vegas, and put Mark in the broadcast booth with Chip Caray. And then one day, Mark can just shove Chip out of the booth and say "I'm going to call this shit myself."
