And he enjoys spending time with his family. “I like being with my Nana,” he said. “We watch movies and have fun. I also like being with my uncle who takes me to my games because my dad is working. I also like my “Auntie” Eileen (Fenton) who was a really good basketball player and gives me tips on how to play, like shooting and things like that.” After school and during the summertime, Aiden can be found at the South Boston Neighborhood House, aka the Ollie, having fun and hanging around with friends.

He’s also played baseball locally for the past four years and last summer was on the White Sox. “I like to play sports,” Aiden said. “I like shooting and in one game (this season) I scored 14 points against Saint Leonard’s from the North End. I like tackling people in football and in baseball I like pitching and making outs. I like keeping busy and being with my friends and having fun.” Aiden’s dad Patrick is proud of his son. He should be. He’s a well-mannered youngster who is enjoying life, doing well in school, and is focused on sports. “Sports are good for Aiden,” his dad said. “He listens to his coaches, learns, and looks forward to all his games. He knows he needs to work hard to succeed. Being active like this is a good way for him to get better, learn discipline, follow the rules and work hard. It’s a good way, good lessons to prepare him for life.”
