LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - While the Lexington Legends prepare for a new season of baseball come spring, they’ll now be joined by a second team this year.
The name of that new team, as well as a new field name, was announced Tuesday morning:
What was once known as the Lexington Legends Ballpark, is now called Wild Health Field as a second Atlantic League Baseball team is added in Lexington.
The Wild Health Genomes will join the Lexington Legends as the second professional baseball team in Lexington.

Maybe they should have called them the “Mutant Genes”… it’s more memorable.
The Milb Class A franchise in Lexington prior to downsizing the minors was quite successful. Never understood why they were cut loose from a MLB operating agreement.
Is this the Babylon Bee?
🙄🙄🙄
Or “Mutating Genes.” Might make me want to watch just to see what happens.
I actually had to check the byline. Funny.
I gather that there is a medical research company called Wild Health?? I agree it’s a terrible name.
The Washington (PA) Wild Things of the Frontier League come to mind.
Yeah, you never know how mutating genes will express themselves.🤗
“Yes, Wild Health Genomes for a sports team! Sigh. I guess they wanted to prove that Lexington is a left-wing city “
Nope. Their sponsor is Wild Health, a genetic analysis company.
I make no comment on how effective their programs are
Minor League Baseball has the coolest team names in sports.
Dr. Fauci can be their mascot.
He looks like a mutant.
Or better yet, make him the home team Umpire. Today a strike, tomorrow a ball........
Yep, and I assume they got big $$ from “Wild Health” for the stadium naming rights.

You’d have to pay me an AWFUL lot to play for a team named “The Genomes”.
That was my first thought. But sadly no. They are actually using that name. Talk about living in a bubble. I can only imagine the names the opposing fans are going to cook up.
How long before the Toledo Mud Hens change their name?
Wonder what the mascot is going to look like.
How many proofreaders are going to edit out the first e?
“They got big $$ from “Wild Health” the naming rights...”
WH charges a ton for their guidance and opinion. Check out the cost of their ‘plans’. Thanks, but no thanks.
No, it’s not the Babylon Bee; it’s from a Lexington TV station.
However, things are so bad that sometimes it’s hard to know.
