Is there some game or pastime that you’ve loved your whole life that brings you tremendous joy? Do you still participate in it? How does it give you fulfillment? For me baseball is that source of joy. The goal of baseball is to come home safely—no matter how. Growing up in Bronxville, not far from Yankee Stadium, my family were die-hard Yankee fans, a tradition that’s hard to carry on in die-hard Red Sox Nation, yet I do. This service will share some of the many lessons I’ve learned from playing all sorts of ball games, rooting for my teams and my favorite players, coaching people, learning about the traditions of the game, sharing my passion for baseball with others, celebrating winning and learning to gracefully accept defeat and loss.
Carol Prescott McCoy, Ph.D., is a semi-retired professional genealogist, who was a psychologist, management trainer, human resource consultant, and life coach. You may know her as the self-appointed minister of hugs at UUCB. If you haven’t had a free hug from her, just ask. She grew up in Bronxville, New York and graduated from Connecticut College (for Women), and received her Ph.D. in psychology from Rutgers University. She taught nurses psychology in the Bronx, New York, and then worked in New York City for Chase Manhattan Bank until 1991. In Spring 1991, she came to her senses and moved to Falmouth, Maine to work for Unum Life Insurance Company. She started her own training and genealogy businesses in 2000. Carol began collecting baseball cards at the age of six and still loves cards! Her favorite show is “Plays of the Week” on MLB Network. Despite being a Yankee fan, she appreciates good play and rooted for the Sox to finally win the World Series.
