Legends Never Die: Tales from Southern Arizona's sports past
Episode 4
On this week's episode, Tony Perkins takes a trip to Warren Ballpark. The Bisbee landmark was built to keep miners busy on their off days, but grew to be a pillar of baseball history that hosted many of the game's historic figures. We then head west to Nogales, where Katya Mendoza introduces us to a Nogales High School coach who made the school's baseball team a powerhouse, and was known by a one-word nickname, Viejo.
