Meet Aiden: Our New Field Inspector
| | |
If you’ve noticed the Miracle League field looking fresh, clean, and ready for game day each week, Aidan is one of the people helping make that happen! Our new Field Inspector checks in on the field once or twice a week while we’re away, helping us keep the space safe, welcoming, and looking its best for our athletes and families.
Aidan was born and raised in Petaluma and is a graduate of Petaluma High School. Go Trojans!
As a young man living with Cerebral Palsy, Aidan’s father fostered his love of sports from an early age. Growing up, Aidan participated in the Petaluma Youth Soccer League, Petaluma Little League T-Ball and Coach Pitch, and eventually played baseball with the North Bay Challenger Little League.
In high school, Aidan found his connection to sports not on the field, but behind the scenes as a member of the athletic support staff. He served as the waterboy for the Trojan football team throughout all four years of high school.
Since graduating, Aidan and his father have expanded their support of Trojan athletics to include both the football and baseball programs. Aidan runs the scoreboard while his father handles the announcing. In addition to the Trojans, they now support the Leghorns American Legion baseball team and Athletic Edge Baseball Club in the same capacities.
Although Aidan never played ball with Miracle League, he has attended many games over the years to support his good friend Liam.
When the opportunity came up to support Miracle League through field maintenance, it seemed like an ideal job for Aidan. Once or twice a week, he picks up trash, cleans the playground chalkboard, maintains the banners, and reports graffiti or other concerns around the buildings. We’re continuing to find ways to add new tasks to his weekly routine, including tools that may help him clear leaves, bark, and other organic debris around the field.
Aidan lives with his parents and his dog, Mackenzie, on the west side of Petaluma. When he’s not involved in sports, he enjoys going to Blue Öyster Cult concerts.
We are so excited to have Aidan as part of the Miracle League North Bay team and grateful for the care he puts into helping keep our field ready for our community each week!
