Ed was a little ahead of me in school. He was a heck of an athlete. Known for baseball at 6'5" he was pretty good basketball player too. The trib article relates how his father wanted him to play football at ND. Besides being the Sox announcer he was a strong advocate for transplant patients. Ed was a kidney transplant recipient. I’ve had a painful history of kidney stones. In a follow up visit to the most painful one of eleven a CAT scan found a spot on liver which lead to my transplant. I got a very kind note from him during my transplant recovery. But that was only thing we had in common other than being alums. Ed had those 5 inches on me for basketball and on the baseball field he was just too fast for me to hit. I had to work full time during my summers but tying to hit him trying out for the baseball team made that decision easy for me.
