Bainbridge Review: Father, Son’s Legacy Continues Through Biddle Foundation

Bainbridge High School baseball lists five seniors on its 2022-23 roster. However, if you ask any of the seniors, they will tell you Baden Biddle should have been their sixth.

“This would have been Baden’s senior year, and he would have been part of this team,” coach Geoff Brown said. “These seniors are playing in honor of Baden knowing if he was here, he would be playing for a chance at state.”

Baden and his father, Troy, were honored at the Bainbridge senior day baseball game May 1 against North Mason. Baden’s mother Amanda Horn and sister Devon Biddle attended, and Horn threw out the first pitch.

“It’s beautiful to be remembered and honored because the alternative would have been more painful,” Horn said. “Although it was tough to be there, it would be worse if nobody said their name anymore. I fully believe Baden would have been standing there and adding value to the team.”

Troy, 53, and Baden, 13, as well as Troy’s brother-in-law Daryl Horn and nephew Joseph Horn, died Nov. 25, 2017 in a car accident with a drunk driver in San Pablo, CA. The family was driving home from an annual father-son basketball tournament.
