Lexington Legends News Release
Baseball Across the Region
(Lexington Legends)
Baseball Across the Region, a celebration of All-Star Summer in Cincinnati, has been made possible through the efforts of the Community Organizing Committee, an all-volunteer group made up of more than 200 area residents.
The Lexington Legends took part in the campaign with a pre-game ceremony June 14. Fans are encouraged to use #BATR on Twitter to share their ceremony experience.
Since February, the official baseball of BATR has been traveling throughout the region as a way of highlighting the neighborhoods, schools, businesses, and community attractions across Reds Country to generate excitement and enthusiasm for the 86th MLB All-Star Game on July 14 at Great American Ball Park.
The journey will end at the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum, where the ball will become an official part of Reds baseball history.
The ceremony stems from the tradition of the passing of the Olympic Torch in anticipation of the Olympics.
