Home plate was staked out on Nov. 29, 2000, as construction continued on the Lexington Legends’ minor league baseball field and stadium next to Northland Shopping Center. At the time of this picture, the Legends were less than five months from opening day. The stadium was named Applebee’s Park for the team’s first nine seasons. Since 2011, it has been called Whitaker Bank Ballpark. This Thursday is opening day for the Legends’ 2015 season. Photo by David Perry | Staff
