One of the biggest side stories of the Yankees return to the world series in 1996 was the heart transplant of Joe Torre's big brother Frank. Now a little over 10 years later, Frank is in need of a new kidney due to the immunosuppresant drugs he's taken for his new heart.
"My heart is only 38 years old," Frank Torre told the newspaper, laughing. "The problem is, my body's 75. I'll be the bionic man by the time they're done with me."
Doctors are hoping that one of Frank Torre's relatives are a match. There was speculation yesterday that his daughter Elizabeth may be a good candidate.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Frank Torre and his family for a new kidney and a speedy recovery.
