The Lexington Legends baseball team just completed a “SUPER” fantastic homestand out at the Orchard as they hosted both the Charleston RiverDogs and the Savannah SandGnats. The Legends were 2 and 8 in eight days and hit the road Tuesday to travel down to take on the ‘Dogs again in Charleston…Let’s wish them all the best luck while on the road. Come back with some wins! On the mound for the Legends, for Wednesday’s night game will be Brad Dydalewicz.

Follow the game on the radio at 1300 WLXG AM as Legends radio announcer Keith Elkins will broadcast the game beginning at 6:45pm.

I mentioned how we had a great homestand, well I have some pictures below that back that up…

The Legends were pleased to have none other than UK basketball standout, Patrick Patterson make an appearance at Applebee’s Park to throw out a ceremonial first pitch. He brought a few friends along with him as you can tell…new and current UK Basketball players…Daniel Orton, Kevin Galloway and Matt Pilgram. They all stopped by on our Thirsty Thursday and I’m sure loaded up on all those dollar…Pepsi’s!

Saturday, was our annual IncrediPet Bark in the Night and we had over 300 dogs and thousands of fans who invaded Applebee’s Park to be apart of the festivities. Jake the Diamond Dog also was out and about and “wooed and wowed” the crowd at Applebee’s Park as those Legends hosted the Savannah SandGnats.

Sunday, the Lexington Legends also hosted its annual Breast Cancer Awareness Day where we were able to raise over $3500 in proceeds for the event to go to the UK Markey Center. The Legends players wore pink pinstriped jerseys like the one myself and our on-field announcer Mykraphone Mike are modeling. Also with us below is Vicki Blevins. She is the Director of Kentucky Pink Link. This community organization is only about a year old but does sooooo much to help out folks affected by this serious and very terrible cancer.

We ended this fantabulous homestand on Monday, May 18th with our Education Day/Mascot Olympics. And guess what!?!?!…We had wild and crazy crowd of 6,000+ students, teachers and baseball fans who all got to watch the Legends “DO WORK” and win the game 3-2 over the SandGnats. We had some cool friends walking around the orchard as you could tell too. Fun fun times all around.
