Lexington Legends News Release


The Lexington Legends will close out the 2013 season with home games Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday against the West Virginia Power, an affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Legends are wrapping up their first season as an affiliate of the Kansas City Royals.

Among the highlights, the Legends will thank fans for their support with Fan Appreciation Night Saturday, August 31. The final Ford Fireworks show of the season will also be held Saturday, and fans are invited to bring their dogs to the park for Monday's game.

"It's been a fantastic 2013 season," said Legends General Manager Seth Poteat. "So many highlights in our first season as a Royals affiliate. We've seen a no-hitter, a player hit for the cycle, and an honest-to-goodness pennant race right up until the final week of the season -- not to mention all the great promotions. Sadly it must come to an end, but we're going out in style this weekend with our Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Fan Appreciation Night and Ford Fireworks, one more Kids Club Day and a fantastic Labor Day finale where everyone can bring their dog and all kids 12 and under eat free. What a weekend!"
