Scott Grimes - 2010 Atlantic League Player of the Year

Autographed 2010  York Revolution Pizza Hut Team Set #15 (MVP Card)

Scott Grimes is arguably the greatest leadoff man the Atlantic League has ever known. He is without an argument the greatest position player in the history of the York Revolution.

After entering the Atlantic League in 2010, the 2008 Can-Am Association Player of the Year who set a single-season Cam-Am record for runs scored (87), continued his scoring ways and for the next few years put on a clinic on how to score runs in the Atlantic League.

In 2010,  Grimes scored 138 runs in 132 games; averaging more than one run per game for the entire season. His 138 runs scored that year lead all professional baseball (major and minor leagues). For his efforts, the center fielder shared the Atlantic League Player of the Year award (Aaron Herr/Lancaster) and was selected to Baseball America’s All-Independent Team.

2011 brought another Atlantic League runs-scoring title for the Kennett Square-PA native as he crossed the plate 97 times.

The contributions of these years cannot be understated in regard to Revs baseball. Grimes was a major, core contributor to the Revolution winning back-to-back Atlantic League Championships in 2010 and 2011. True to form, Grimes scored the championship clinching run in the 10th inning of Game 3 of the Atlantic League Championship in 2010 against the Bridgeport Bluefish to bring York their first-ever League Championship.

Grimes retired from the Revolution after only three years of play in 2012 as the career, franchise leader in: games played (357), runs scored (298), at-bats (1,350), hits (374), extra-base hits (128), triples (13), total bases (605), stolen bases (69), and walks (205).
