It's amazing how Mark Grace is on 80 percent of these and still gets no respect from the organization. His #17 should have been retired and they gave it to Bobby Hill the year after Grace left -- disgusting.
I totally agree about Mark Grace. He was a class act, and did great in a Cub uniform. He was the reason I was rooting for Arizona in the World Series.
Here's mine:
Ron Santo
Even though he's a new guy, Fukedome
Ryne Sandberg
Ernie Banks
Derek Lee
Ryne Sandberg
Rick Sutcliff
Ernie Banks
Fergesen Jenkins
Billy Williams
