Grand Rapids (baseball team)


The Grand Rapids Baseball Club was a minor league baseball team based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA that played under several different names at various times between 1883 and 1951. They played mostly in the Central League but also in various other Michigan-based leagues.
After a long minor league hiatus in Grand Rapids, the West Michigan Whitecaps of the Midwest League began play Comstock Park, Michigan, just outside Grand Rapids, in 1994.
