Joanna stadium located in Joanna, South Carolina is a Baseball Stadium built circa 1930 primarily used in the textile league baseball between 1930-1970. The original structure was a wooden structure with a roof that was updated around 1950 to a concrete bleacher stadium with a capacity of approximately 1500.

The field was home to several teams representing the Joanna Textile Mill including the Joanna Hornets, Joanna Red Sox, and Joanna Sluggers.

Many players of the Joanna Teams also played professional baseball, Guy Prater, Ralph "Snow" Prater, Rudolph Prater, Cecil "Wheeze" Farmer, Johnny Moore, Tommy Lasorda, and many more. The south Carolina High School strikeout record of 28 strikeouts was also set on the field by future professional player Billy O'Dell when his Newberry High School Bulldogs defeated Clinton High Schools Red Devils by striking o^[2]ut every batter including a dropped third strike followed by an additional strikeout.
