After nine years of combining baseball and education, Maddy earned her B.S. degree in education in 1957 and a Master’s degree in 1962. After working for a while for the Everett Recreation Department, Maddy began a lengthy career in the Everett Public Schools as a teacher and eventually a guidance counselor at the Parlin Junior High School. She retired in 1984. In November 1988, the Baseball Hall of Fame dedicated a permanent display to the All American Girls Professional Baseball League. This was followed by the 1992 film “A League of Their Own,” which that put the league back into the consciousness of the American public. Maddy, like the other players, enjoyed having her experience introduced to a new generation. Maddy English has been inducted into the Boston University Athletics Hall of Fame, the Women in Sports Hall of Fame and the Sports Museum of New England. Shortly before her death at the age of 79, the City of Everett dedicated one of its new schools – located on the site of the old Babe Ruth Park – as the Madeline English School, a fitting tribute to a great athlete and a dedicated educator. 53 Jackson Street Saugus, MA 01906 781-813-3325 REAL ESTATE TRANSAC TIONS Copyrighted material previously published in Banker & Tradesman/The Commercial Record, a weekly trade newspaper.
