Over the last month, Jeff Attinella’s name has been in the news more than usual, albeit for different reasons than normal. Features on local television. An article in Portland’s main newspaper. Attention from Major League Soccer’s website. As a goalkeeper for the Portland Timbers, Attinella is used to getting coverage for his play on the field, but over the last few week, outlets are documenting his life off of it.
Part of that has been the arrival of a new son, with Jeff’s wife, Kendall, giving birth to the couple’s second child last month.
