Presentation sister a Posey fan
By Rosana Madrigal

Sister Paschal Elvin, PBVM, Presentation High School, Berkeley, Class of 1929 and a former teacher at St. John School in San Lorenzo, at age 99 is an avid San Francisco Giants baseball enthusiast and especially a fan of Catcher Buster Posey.
Sister Paschal had a dream come true when she was able to attend a Giants game and have a special one-on-one meeting with Buster Posey on Sept. 26. The outing quickly became an all Motherhouse event, with Sister Paschal decked out in a new Giants sweatshirt, a black and orange knit cap knitted by Motherhouse administrator Sister Dolores Quigg, SNDdeN, and her wheelchair sporting orange and black crepe paper ribbons and bows.
That September game was special for Buster Posey as well, because he batted in his 100th run — we like to think it was because of his meeting with Sister Paschal and (perhaps) her prayers for him.
