On the same weekend when many celebrate Easter, this story of death spawning new life couldn’t be more powerful.
Four days after former Ravens tight end Konrad Reuland died from a brain aneurysm on Dec. 12, his heart and kidney went to Baseball Hall of Famer Rod Carew, who was in desperate need of a transplant. Amazingly, the two had once met 18 years earlier when Reuland attended the same middle school as Carew’s children.
Even if you’re not a fan of the Ravens or baseball, take 15 minutes to read this story written by BaltimoreRavens.com.
