Sneak Peak

30912763534_393a3f77a9_zWhitaker Bank Ballpark-Lexington, KY:  While my dad was visiting from Michigan, we decided to take a little trip over to Lexington and see what it had to offer. Unfortunately, not much is going on anywhere tourist-wise, but I definitely wanted to stop by and see where the Lexington Legends played ball, as I wasn’t able to make it to a game there over the summer.

Being a fan of the South Atlantic League, I’ll be able to see some familiar teams play against the Legends as well.  Trevor had some luck, and found a ball from the Ohio Valley Conference that must have been playing some college games there.  I took just a few photos, and this is just a sneak peak at the fun we plan on having in 2017.  Have a safe and happy new year, and we’ll see you all at the ballparks the spring.

    I LOVE that the staff let you all have a look around … how cool!

    And, yes, those front row seats look as close to the action as some dugouts. (And, extra credit for having cup holders on the wall!) Some ballparks have such wide swaths of foul territory that you still seem far away even when you’re sitting down close. But those seats look absolutely awesome.

    Happy (almost) New Year!
