DIXFIELD — Bob McPhee, a former longtime sportswriter for the Lewiston Sun Journal and now an assistant baseball coach at Dirigo High School, never allowed a wheelchair to restrain him from leading a full life of inspiration and perseverance.
Members of this tight-knit community came out in droves to honor a courageous man on Monday afternoon before the Leavitt-Dirigo baseball game. Dirigo renamed the baseball field at Harlow Park with a sign that reads Bob McPhee Baseball Diamond.
