He played 3rd base for Colby College and served as the team Captain his senior year. He was very proud to be able to play in the Pine Tree league with his father, and even played semi-pro baseball. While he played on many teams, one of his favorites, was the Robert’s 88ers. Stanley coached several sports at Lisbon High School, where he taught and was the Athletic Director. After his many years of coaching and teaching at Lisbon, the school named the baseball field, “Doughty’s Diamond” in his honor. In 2009, Stanley was inducted into the Maine Baseball Hall of Fame. A perfect day in Stanley’s life would be going up to Hunter’s Camp in Greenwood, Maine with all of his, ‘boys’ where they would hunt, tell stories, and he would sing songs.
