Lexington Legends Pursue Former Henry Clay Standout and World Series Champion Walker Buehler

Lexington Legends News Release


Lexington, KY - In a bold (and maybe slightly optimistic) move, the Lexington Legends are setting their sights on bringing World Series champion and hometown hero, Walker Buehler, back to his Kentucky roots. Buehler, who rose from Eastern Little League at Ecton Park to Henry Clay High School to the Los Angeles Dodgers, has become a national sensation on the mound. Now, the Legends are hoping to lure him home-if only for a moment of good-natured fun.

While Buehler's return might seem like a long shot, the Legends believe it's worth dreaming big, especially for the fans who have cheered him on from his early days in Lexington to his triumphs on baseball's biggest stage.

"Walker's journey from Henry Clay to World Series champion is a story that inspires everyone in this community," said Justin Ferrarella, General Manager of the Lexington Legends. "Bringing him back to Lexington would be a dream come true, and hey, dreams are what baseball is all about, right? We'll do everything in our power to make this happen, even if it takes a little wishful thinking."

To make the offer more appealing, the Legends are putting an amusing package on the table: thousands of dollars for a 30-year commitment, free tickets for Buehler's family every night in the newly renovated Lexington Lounge, and endless hometown love.

The Legends are keeping the door open and their fingers crossed. Stay tuned as we chase the ultimate hometown homecoming-because, in baseball, you never know what might happen!
