Former Diamondbacks television analyst Mark Grace has
been sentenced to 4 months in jail under a work-release program.

The 48-year-old former 1B with the D-backs and Cubs pleaded
guilty Thursday to felony endangerment and misdemeanor
driving under the influence of alcohol.

Grace was arrested last August in Scottsdale - his 2nd drunken
driving arrest in 15 months - and could have faced more than
3 years in prison. He had pleaded not guilty in October to 4
felony counts of aggravated DUI and was scheduled to go on
trial March 19th.

The D-backs fired him as their analyst after the August arrest
but later invited him to participate in a fantasy camp. A Maricopa
County Superior Court spokesman says the jail sentence begins
Feb. 10th. Grace must also serve 2 years of probation.

Love Grace's bluntness. Had one of the best interviews ever on Jim Rome show. But dude needs to get the drinking under control
