The York White Roses, also known as the York Pirates in their last two seasons of existence, played from 1884 to 1969. After a long hiatus, the city of York tried for years to bring professional baseball back to the city. The process looked promising in 2003, until politics halted the project. Finally, in April 2006, the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball formally announced an expansion team for the city of York. One of the prominent members of the team's ownership group is Brooks Robinson, who played with the York White Roses and later with the Baltimore Orioles from 1955 to 1977. A statue of Robinson was erected in the area outside the stadium entrance and called Brooks Robinson Plaza in his honor.

This 2010 York Revolution jersey was worn and signed by Revolution pitcher Michael Nix. This jersey includes a COA from the York Revolution.
