Class B baseball in Saint Joseph, Minnesota
The St. Joseph Joes are an amateur baseball club from Saint Joseph, Minnesota, playing Class B in the Sauk Valley League under the Minnesota Baseball Association. They went 9-8 in 2026 under manager Pat Schneider at Schneider Field.
The manager's surname is the ballpark's name, which is the seventh such pairing in this set. Atwater, Elko, Granite Falls, Maple Plain, Regal, Shakopee and now Saint Joseph. In every case the association explains nothing, and in every case the town does not need it explained.
The club is called the Joes, which shortens Saint Joseph the same way St. Augusta shortens to Gussies. Stearns County appears to find full saints' names too much work.
Twenty-three classification points for a city of about seven thousand, home to the College of Saint Benedict, in a league that also holds both Sartell Class A clubs and both Cold Spring sides.
Pat Schneider manages at Schneider Field, and Stearns County has shortened four saints to nicknames. High Cheese gives St. Joseph the page where both facts get room.
