Team History

The York White Roses seemed to end up in the same league as the Lancaster Red Roses often, re-living the War of the Two Roses.

Minor league baseball returned to York in 2007 when the York Revolution began play in the independent Atlantic League, competing against the Lancaster Barnstormers.
