Outsports’ Ken Schultz published a moving piece Wednesday about the romance between Cole and Aiden, two baseball standouts who started dating following their season.
In the process, Aiden came out. Now, the cute couple is telling their story. “I felt like as soon as I came out, an elephant stepped off my chest,” said Aiden. “I can be my 100% authentic self, which is super cool.
It’s something I’ve never been able to do. It kind of feels like I’ve completely opened a new book in my life, which I think is super awesome.”A post shared by Cole Philpott (@phillypott18)Their tale begins in late March.
Aiden took the mound for the Beloit Buccaneers for a regular-season game against the Grinnell Pioneers. Though Cole wasn’t in the lineup that night, he still took notice of the opposing hurler.
