Emma Tiedemann To Call Lexington Legends Minor League Baseball

Tiedemann

Minor league baseball's LEXINGTON LEGENDS have named former ST. PAUL SAINTS Broadcast and Media Relations Assistant EMMA TIEDEMANN as primary play-by-play broadcaster and media contact, replacing the retiring KEITH ELKINS.  The LEGENDS, the Class A SOUTH ATLANTIC LEAGUE affiliate of the KANSAS CITY ROYALS, will be heard online this season after 17 seasons on LM COMMUNICATIONS Sports WLXG-A/LEXINGTON, KY, which has filled the programming gap by joining the CINCINNATI REDS network for 2018.

LEGENDS President/CEO ANDY SHEA said, "I am absolutely thrilled to have EMMA on board and part of the LEXINGTON LEGENDS team. Going into this off-season, we made the decision to take our game broadcast off of the radio and exclusively stream them on milb.tv. When we met EMMA at the Baseball Winter Meetings in ORLANDO, FLORIDA it was clear from the beginning that we had found the perfect person to lead us into this process.  As one of the very few female owned professional sports teams, we are also very proud to have the first female play-by-play analyst in the SOUTH ATLANTIC LEAGUE and the second in all of MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL."

"I am so excited to be a part of the LEGENDS front office staff," said TIEDEMANN. "I am eager to get in the booth this season and bring LEGENDS baseball to fans near and far."
