Alan Stein is back and so are the Lexington Legends

UK Alumni Association

For a second time, Alan Stein has brought the Legends to Lexington. The minor league baseball team opened play as a Houston Astros affiliate in 2001, following years of effort and planning led by Alan. He stepped away from the team in 2011. Now, after a year of being called the Lexington CounterClocks, the Legends are back in 2024. Alan is part of a new ownership group that has brought back the old nickname, and hopes to bring back the fan base with some new ideas as well as some familiar favorites. This conversation covers the recent developments that resulted in the “Legendary” comeback.
