Former Legends in the World Series

For the first time in franchise history, two former Lexington Legends are participating in the World Series.  Hunter Pence (Giants) and Terrance Gore (Royals) spent time as Legends earlier in their careers.  Pence was in Lexington in 2005, and Gore was a Legend in 2013.

Prior to this season only two former Legends have taken part in the World Series:

2008- Ben Zobrist with Tampa Bay.  Zobrist went 1 for 7 as the Rays fell to Philadelphia.

2012- Hunter Pence with San Francisco.  Pence was 4 for 14 with one double and one RBI as the Giants swept the Tigers.
