Blue Wahoos Sign Mobile's Wade Vadakin To Be 2020 Bat Boy

By Bill Vilona--A smile enveloped his face, along with prideful joy as Wade Vadakin was presented a Pensacola Blue Wahoos jersey Saturday at Mobile's Hank Aaron Stadium.

The gesture by Blue Wahoos president Jonathan Griffith signified Vadakin's new future working in professional baseball.

After being the beloved bat boy of the Mobile BayBears since the team arrived in 1997, their exit after this season won't include another sad finality.

Vadakin, who turned 40 this year, a man who has battled his way in life since being born with congenital brain-stem damage and visual impairment, along with diabetes since he was 13 months old, will become the Blue Wahoos new bat boy next season.

The on-field presentation preceded the Blue Wahoos' 8-5 win Saturday night in a game featuring 21 hits and three lead changes.

"It's going to feel bittersweet," Vadakin said, during an on-field interview with WKRG News 5 sports anchor Robby Baker, one of the Blue Wahoos new corporate partners this season. "On one hand, it sucks saying goodbye to Mobile, saying goodbye to Hank Aaron Stadium, a place I called home for 22 years.

"On the other hand, it's exciting begin part of a new team, being with a new organization, being with new players."
