Singing before a capacity crowd of more than 40,000 people at Wrigley Field was a dream come true for the once-aspiring baseball player turned musician. West received a thumbs-up gesture of approval from Cubs manager Dusty Baker following his performance.

West's GMA Music Award Song of the Year-nominated single, "Only Grace," remains a Top 5 hit on Christian AC charts after numerous weeks. His latest single, the title cut from last year's History, is both a "Most Added" and "Most Increased Plays" on R&R's May 16 Christian AC Indicator chart.
