GRAND FORKS — What started out as a rough experience for a Grand Forks boy has become an unforgettable experience.
10-year-old Aiden Schroeder was recently made fun of by some of his baseball teammates for sporting pink shoes during his first baseball practice of the season. He was met with bullying and name calling, with kids calling him things like "cotton candy" and "softball."
"He had been so proud of these shoes he even called his grandma in Arizona to show her," said Shawnda Schroeder. "So to know he was so down about the situation was pretty upsetting."
