The Spartanburg Stingers were a Spartanburg, South Carolina baseball team in the Coastal Plain League. The franchise relocated to Forest City, North Carolina from Spartanburg following the 2007 season. Now known as the Forest City Owls, the team plays its home games at McNair Field, a new baseball stadium constructed near downtown Forest City by the municipal government utilizing town funds, private contributions, and more than $1 million in donations from Robert C. McNair, a Forest City native and owner of the NFL Houston Texans. The Owls won their home (and season) debut on Thursday, May 29, 2008, by a score of 4-2 over the Gastonia Grizzlies. McNair threw out the first pitch, and the Owls turned an ever-rare triple play in the top of the 6th inning.
