Current Chicago Cubs right-handed reliever Justin Grimm spent the 2011 season pitching for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans as a member of the Texas Rangers organization. Grimm, then a starter, went 5–2 with a 3.39 ERA in 16 outings covering 90.1 innings for the Pelicans. The Bristol, Va. native spoke with Scott Kornberg about his memories on the Grand Strand and his thoughts on the Cubs’ offseason and upcoming 2016 campaign.
“That was the big thing I saw in Myrtle Beach — it was a very family-oriented ballpark, and it got a lot of fans because a lot of people came to games. It was a lot of fun to play there. Thinking back, it was probably one of the best places to play in the Minor Leagues.”
