69.  Tucson Saguaros. Tucson’s franchise in the Pecos League return for a third season of baseball this summer, with the Tucson Saguaros looking to pick up where they left off last summer. The team, which launched in 2016, had the best regular season record in the league last summer, going 46-11, before getting knocked out in the Pacific Division series by the High Desert Yardbirds. The semipro team kicks off its season on May 24, with a regular season that runs through July 26. For more information on the team, go to their website at saguarosbaseball.com.  

70. Catch a summer league game. Each summer, a cast of basketball lifers meet at The Gregory School’s gymnasium (3231 N. Craycroft Road) to play a series of basketball games, providing free entertainment to the Old Pueblo. This year’s league consists of six teams, sponsored by Ace Hardware, Truly Nolen, Sol Casinos, ASARCO, Window Depot and Crest Insurance Group—with games taking place between Friday, June 22, and Sunday, June 25. The six teams play 15 games during that stretch.
