Grayson S. "Gracie" Pierce (before 1865 – August 28, 1894) was an American Major League Baseball second baseman and center fielder for three seasons, playing for five teams from 1882 to 1884.
Pierce began his major league career on May 2, 1882, for the Louisville Eclipse of the American Association.
[1] His last major league season was spent with the New York Metropolitans, where he played in just five games, splitting his time between second base and the outfield.
[1] He signed and played for an Elmira, New York minor league baseball team in 1886, along with fellow Metropolitans Ed Kennedy, and Dasher Troy, when players began to leave the team due to speculation that the American Association was going to eliminate them from the league.
In the seventh inning, after a St. Louis player had struck out, the Maroons refused to play, complaining that it was too dark to continue.
The game ended with St. Louis winning after ten innings of play, sealing the series victory, the only undisputed championship that the Association could claim over the National League.
