Mark Grace…Busted for DUI

Mark Grace...Busted for DUI

It appears as though 2011 is, again, the “Year of the Pitcher”…the BEER pitcher that is!

Bing bong.

Lame attempt at an even lamer joke aside, this current epidemic of baseball players (past and present) getting busting for driving drunk is getting old. 

The latest…former Chicago Cubs and Arizona Diamondbacks firstbaseman Mark Grace. 

This is what azcentral.com had to say:

Grace, 46, was stopped by Scottsdale police at 64th Street and Cochise Road shortly after 1 a.m. May 30, after he made a wide right turn and police observed him weaving within his lane, according to the report.

Grace, who did not have his wallet or license with him at the time of the arrest, admitted to “having a few drinks,” police said.

Grace was arrested on suspicion of driving with a blood-alcohol of more than the legal limit of 0.08 percent and being DUI-impaired to the slightest degree, according to police reports.  Grace was taken to a command post to have his blood drawn and results were pending, police said.

Seriously guys…hire a driver! Or at the very least, tell the cops you spent your day in a mascot costume.
