GRASSROOTS GROWN, LOCALLY OWNED
With a rich baseball legacy, Lake Country has long rooted for a team to call its own. After all, our lifestyle here is everything summer fun — and as any local knows, summer just isn’t summer without baseball. So the community came together to bring the best ball to our backyard. And with our Lake Country style in the game, the energy is unmatched.
Tom Kelenic
Tom & Lisa have long been a Lake Country powerhouse team working to give local youth and athletes the chance to learn, love and excel at the game for over 15 years starting with their first youth baseball and softball complex in Waukesha. Baseball has been a life-long passion for Tom and believes in the talent that WI can showcase to the game.
Lisa Kelenic
Lisa brings her extensive business experience in driving strategic growth & team performance along with her passion for baseball to create a memorable experience for fans.
Baseball has been a constant theme in Lisa’s life. From her parents meeting at the ball diamond to meeting her husband as part of a softball team, many of her memorable life moments can be tied to baseball.
Sonny Bando
Sonny’s lifelong passion for baseball began at a young age, deeply rooted in the rich tradition of the sport. His connection to the game was inspired by his legendary father Sal Bando, who was a retired 16-year MLB professional baseball player, and 8-year MLB General Manager. Sonny aimed to weave the fabric of baseball into the very heart of the community, leaving a legacy that would be celebrated not only for its athletic achievements but for the positive change it brought to the lives of those touched by the magic of the game.
Additional partners
The additional 25-30 partners, who share the Bando and Kelenic’s vision for Lake Country, is a significant step towards solidifying the connection between baseball & entertainment with the local community. These partners believe in the power of sports and entertainment to foster unity and positive opportunities to the lake country community.
