Grats to LSU and respect for Tom Walter

Best college baseball game in a decade or more.

In victory, like the gracious and classy LSU baseball team's sportsmanship, pay tribute to this guy.

"Kevin Jordan, undoubtedly, is the greatest beneficiary of Walter's selflessness. He was a major league prospect who had a serious yet-to-be-diagnosed kidney disease when he arrived at Wake Forest in the fall of 2010. He needed a transplant, but no one in his family was a match.

Walter volunteered to be tested and offered Jordan one of his kidneys when he was found to be a suitable donor. The transplant was performed Feb. 7, 2011, and both men have had few, if any, complications.

“We look at these players like they’re part of my family," Walter said. "When somebody in your family needs something, you give it to them. I tell people all the time it was the best decision I’ve ever made. What I got in return is more valuable than what I gave."

The man gave one of his kidneys to one of his players - this is one hell of a man.
