Maricopa’s American Legion Baseball season opened Saturday. Speakers included Mayor Christian Price, Ak-Chin Chairman Robert Miguel, Sheriff Paul Babeu and City Manager Gregory Rose. But the center of attention was on the Ford family as the Legion paid tribute to the legacy of Nate Ford.
The sheriff gave out commissioner’s coins to four young men being honored as they go into the military.
