Coach Aaron Rouselle: A Baseball Story of Extraordinary Perseverance to Triumph

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 22:00:00 -0400

Last year, you may have stumbled across a press story or social media post about a 40-year-old man who decided to play college baseball at the JUCO level.

Well, that man is Aaron Rouselle, and he is our special guest on this joint episode of In the Booth hosted by Flobo Boyce and the Black Baseball Mixtape podcast.

Coach Rouselle is a true inspiration to anyone with a dream. Yes, he played college baseball at an advanced age, but he is also a 2X liver transplant survivor, a cancer survivor, he had shingles, and he even had mold growing in his lungs. The fact that Aaron is with us today is indeed a miracle.

He now leads young men in the game and teaches them more than baseball. He teaches his players about life.
