THE GOOD FAMILY<\/h2>\n

LARKS HOST FAMILY SINCE 2022<\/h3>\n

The Good\u2019s love baseball and love the Larks. They are one of our host families this season, they\u2019re hosting infielder Aaron Mann from Drury University. We had the pleasure to talk with their family and ask them some questions about how great it\u2019s been being a host family.<\/p>\n

WHAT ABOUT BEING A HOST FAMILY IS DIFFERENT THAN JUST BEING A REGULAR FAN?\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBefore we\u2019d only go to 7-pack games but now we get to go to as many home games as we can make it to. It\u2019s way more baseball and way more fun. We also get to hear some of the cool dugout stories,\u201d Ethan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt gives you a particular player who you\u2019re rooting for like a parent because we know him off the field. The other day I was walking downstairs and heard that Aaron hit a home run and I got really excited and had to rewind the TV back so the family could see Aaron\u2019s big hit,\u201d Jamie said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had the pleasure of learning Aaron\u2019s journey of how he made it to the Larks and all the work that he\u2019s put in during his career. Makes you an even bigger fan than we were before,\u201d Erin Good said.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

WHAT HAS BEEN ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE EXPERIENCES BEING A HOST FAMILY?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe first week Aaron [Mann] was here we played a game of kickball. It was Aaron and I vs. Patrick and Dad. Aaron and I ended up winning,\u201d Ethan said.<\/p>\n

WHAT IS SOMETHING ETHAN AND PATRICK DO EVERY WEEK WITH AARON?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

We watch the Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney Plus together once a week when the episodes come out. It\u2019s been fun doing that together,\u201d Ethan said.<\/p>\n

HOW DOES ALICIA UHDE, LARKS HOST FAMILY COORDINATOR HELP WITH THE TRANSITION OF PLAYERS JOINING HOST FAMILIES?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Alicia [Uhde] does a great job matching families with players. We felt like from the beginning, Aaron was a perfect fit for us. Aaron was an Eagle Scout and both of our boys are Cub Scouts. They all share a love for baseball and other commonalities that made it easy to have him be a part of our family,\u201d Erin said.<\/p>\n

HOW HAS IT BEEN HAVING SOMEONE FROM ANOTHER PART OF THE COUNTRY STAY WITH YOU?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

It was pretty cool to hear that Aaron went to Central High School, which is the same school the Little Rock Nine went to. Also, Aaron will experience Costco for his first time ever with the Good\u2019s this summer. Aaron is from Arkansas, the state where Walmart originated and their headquarters are at, so he doesn\u2019t have a Costco back home. We\u2019re very excited to show Aaron all the samples Costco has,\u201d Patrick said.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":78,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"content-type":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-20305","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nTHE GOOD FAMILY -
