Mark Grace almost done with Tent City time

Former Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman and broadcaster Mark Grace is about a month away from completing his four-month stay in the Tent City Jail.

Grace is jailed by night and working as a hitting instructor at Salt River Fields by day, after a DUI conviction in Scottsdale last year.  Sheriff's Office spokesman Joaquin Enriquez says Grace has been a good inmate,

"When you have somebody like Mark Grace, a well-known baseball player, coming in there serving his time like he is suppose to and not getting any special treatment," Enriquez said.

Grace is jailed from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day. He is due to get out of Tent City on June 10.
