Special Guest: Mickey Weston
Mickey leads the Unlimited Potential Inc. (UPI) team as the Executive Director and has been on staff since 1996. He has been privileged to serve players in partnership with Baseball Chapel as the Chicago White Sox’s chaplain since 2003.
Mickey was drafted to play professional baseball in 1982 by the New York Mets and pitched for 15 seasons. He had parts of 5 years in the MLB with the Orioles, Blue Jays, Phillies, and the Mets. After his playing career was done, Mickey was a Single-A pitching coach for the Mets for 3 seasons. He was inducted into the Rochester Red Wings (Triple A affiliate of the Orioles) Hall of Fame in 1999 with the lowest E.R.A. (1.98) in the history of the franchise, which spans over 100 years.
Mickey went on his first mission trip with UPI in 1986 to South Korea. That trip changed the trajectory of his life. He has since traveled to work in partnership with missionaries and local churches in over 40 countries around the world. His wife, Lisa, serves the women in professional baseball as the Women’s Ministry Coordinator for Baseball Chapel and as the Bible Study leader for the White Sox’s women. Mickey and Lisa have also served together on the board of directors of Pro Athletes Outreach for the last 30+ years.
Mickey and Lisa have been happily married for almost 38 years. They have four grown children, three of whom are married, and are proud grandparents to twin 2-year-old grandsons with another grandchild expected in early November.
