Beloved Baseball Family Gives To Live | ThePostGame

Transplanted kidneys usually begin to fail after 10 to 20 years, depending on the age of the donor, and that’s why Ken, whose first transplant came in 1991, needed a second one in December. A blood test established that Rick, like Ken, was O-positive, and no questions asked, Rick gave up a kidney.

Now one of their sisters and several nieces and nephews are showing signs of renal failure.

That puts David in the Eckstein on-deck circle.

David only just now is giving up a kidney because the family wanted him to play out his career. Currently, he doesn't have an offer from any of the teams in MLB.
