Aaron Hicks Parents Joseph Hicks And Jody Hicks

Aaron Hicks parents Joseph and Jody Hicks raised two athletes. Their oldest plays golf and their youngest plays baseball.

Joseph and Jody did not want either of their sons to play baseball.

Especially his dad, Joseph, who emphasized how the injuries would plague him throughout his career and golf was the lesser of the two evils. This came from a personal experience for Joseph. 

Joseph Hicks Was A Former Baseball Player Of the Padres Organization

Joseph Hicks had set his mind never to let his son Aaron Hicks touch a baseball bat.

For years, he even hid his seven years long baseball career from his younger son so that he wouldn't fall into the same trap as him. 

But one day, as young Aaron was playing in the backyard, he found a baseball bat. Amazed by it, the kid started swinging it, which resulted in him smashing it into a tree. It was one of the last bats Joseph had of his pro career, and obviously, it had him fuming.

It was only after his older brother, Joseph Hicks Jr, said to him about their father's playing career that Aaron came to know about the past life of his dad. Joseph Hicks was drafted by the San Diego Padres in 1975 and later made his debut with Walla Walla Padres.

He struggled in minor leagues for seven years, believing he could make it to the big stage. But during one game, he was hit in the left eye, which damaged his orbital bone. The devastating injury stopped his career as well as the father-of-two didn't want his son to follow in his footsteps.

It wasn't until age 13 that Aaron started playing baseball, as Joseph had given up on his younger's child obstinacy towards learning the game. Aaron was so stubborn in wanting to play baseball that he made a deal with his dad.

Joseph said to his right-handed son that he would only allow him to play baseball if he learned to hit from his left-hand as well. Challenge was accepted, and Joseph Hicks's plan had backfired.

Seeing his son succeed has watered some of the bitterness Joseph Hick had for the game. Though Judy has tried her best to remain away from the public limelight, she has previously talked about the connection the father-duo shared after Joseph realized baseball was going to be the route Aaron would take.

Aaron Hicks family is filled with yesteryears athletes and current days athletes. 

With his father, Joseph wanting him to become the next Tiger Woods rather than Mickey Mantle, Joseph Hicks no longer regrets the decision of letting his son pursue the sports he had turned his back on it in 1980. 

Joseph believed his child would one day get a scholarship for his golfing skills. He was already winning several golf tournaments and was being called a prodigy. But after his brother Joseph Jr revealed to Aaron about their dad's baseball career with Padres, everything changed from there. 

Joseph Hicks Jr Continues To Play Golf

It was not only Aaron persuaded by his father to play golf, his older brother, Joseph Hicks Jr, was also one of the members of the family who was told to do the same.

And if Aaron put his golf club aside to pick up the baseball bat, Hicks Jr continued his love affair with golf.

Last year during the same time, Joseph Hicks Jr on Instagram showed his 2022 Pebble Beach Players Cup Championship Trophy. The older Hicks brother continues to show his achievements on his social media site. 

He is often accompanied by his younger brother and dad to golf courses, with the Yankees star proving he has not lost his touch with the sport. Hicks Jr is seen attending the Yankees games but not just by himself. He makes sure to take his four kids to watch their uncle play.
