It’s time for the three Bs: brats, beer, and baseball. This summer’s season is packed full of games and events. From fun initiatives for the kids to snack deals, the summer is just heating up for the Lexington Counter Clocks.
About the team
The Lexington Counter Clocks, formerly known as the Lexington Legends, was purchased by Nathan and Kerri Lyons in 2022. The couple has completely revamped the organization with a new name and upgraded stadium, Counter Clocks Field. The venue boasts on-field seating + a new lounge space, plus a new and improved kids’ area with a two-lane, 20-ft slide.
