Both Joseph and Jody Hicks never wanted Aaron to become a baseball player. This is because his father was drafted by the San Diego Padres during the 1975 amateur draft. However, his career ended when he got hit in the left eye, thereby damaging his orbital bone. Joseph wanted his son to become a golfer rather than play baseball. He warned him that if he becomes a baseball player, he will have to deal with a lot of injuries.

However, Aaron was stubborn about playing baseball and his father had to eventually give in to his demands. He wanted his son to learn to hit with both his right and left hand, which he did easily. Now that Aaron has become an experienced baseball player, his father Joseph's disliking of the game has somewhat decreased.

Aaron's mother, Jody Hicks, likes to stay out of the limelight. However, she has talked about the connection between Joseph and Aaron. His parents continue to support him.
