The Columbia Comers were a minor league baseball team, based in Columbia, South Carolina and played in the South Atlantic League. The team was first known as the Columbia Skyscrapers in 1904 and later became the Columbia Gamecocks for the next six seasons. In 1911, the Gamecocks changed their name to the Columbia Commies. The team then went 38-28 in the first half of the South Atlantic League season, winning the second half title, before losing to the Columbus Foxes in the league championship.

In 1912, the club was finally named the Comers, and would eventually win four league titles. They briefly played part of their 1923 season in Gastonia, North Carolina as the Gastonia Comers. In 1930, the team was an affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
