Greenwood Pirates
June 22, 2019
The Greenwood Pirates, who toiled in the Class A South Atlantic League from 1981 to 1983, were the last professional baseball team to ever make their home in this South Carolina city. Greenwood’s Legion Field previously was home to the Western Carolina League’s Greenwood Braves from 1968 to 1979. The Pirates’ 1983 total attendance of 8,345 fans for a 72-game home schedule ranks as the worst single-season box office in South Atlantic League’s five-decade history. The franchise moved to Macon, Georgia prior to the 1984 season.
