Carolyn Jones provides an unforgettable summer experience, say some of the Anchorage Glacier Pilots players she has hosted.

Growing up in Tarrytown, New York, a town north of New York City on the Hudson River, her favorite team was the Yankees.
Anchorage Glacier Pilots hosts Carolyn Jones, left, and Kristen Dyson watched the 3-0 shutout victory over the Mat-Su Miners at Mulcahy Stadium on Tuesday, July 18, 2023. She has three adult daughters but never had any sons, so her spare room is reserved for hosting baseball players. One of the most successful players Jones has hosted is Riley Adams, who was an incoming freshman in 2014 and is now the backup catcher for the Washington Nationals. He was originally drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the third round of the 2017 MLB June Amateur Draft from the University of San Diego.
“They said she was the best and she’s honestly amazing,” junior infielder Will Bermudez said. “She’s the epitome of host family.” “I know there’s about 40 summer leagues all around the country and I know the premier one is Cape Cod back east, and we’re nowhere near Cape Cod, but it’s a good place to come to perfect your craft, pursue your dreams and see Alaska,” Jones said.
“Some of them get out there right away,” she said. “They’re climbing Flattop, they’re catching salmon and this year they’re swatting at mosquitoes.”
