You don't have to be a sports fan to appreciate this story, but I think maybe it makes it even more poignant if you are.

Sadly, Reuland was just 29. Ironically, 29 was Carew's uniform number.

He didn’t save Carew’s life the doctors did. I hate this hyperbole.

Interesting how this is public news.......My brother was killed in an auto accident in California back in 2001 and his heart was donated to a 60+ man who was dying.

I have a letter from the gentleman thanking our family for Scott's donation. When I attempted to locate him thru the organ donor organization last month, all they could do was give me a copy of the letter, they could not give me any information on him other than his name signed on the letter - Bob.........

It would be nice to know how "Bob" is doing today..............

He was just 11-years-old when him and the Twins legend first crossed paths.

Don't they teach the basic rules of grammar in whatever school this guy attended?

As a former fan who gave up on the NFL in the wake of the Michael Vick, Ray Rice, Colin Kaipernick era it’s good to see that there at least were some good people in the NFL.

Even though the two stories are not the same, it still reminds me of the movie Bang the Drum Slowly.
