In addition to his court sentence, Grace also lost his job as a TV analyst with the Arizona Diamondbacks because of his DUI.

At the time, Grace said:

“They had no choice … One thing I try to teach my children and I expect from myself and I expected from my teammates is accountability. The Diamondbacks didn’t do anything wrong, I did…it’s all on me, nobody else.”

Grace’s prison sentence will begin on February 10.
