Tennessee Man Finds Out Wife Is Kidney Donor Match with Custom Baseball Card: ‘You Want to Save My Life?’

For a baseball fan, nothing beats the feeling of opening a brand new pack of baseball cards — except when one of those cards can save your life!

Heather Winfree of Tennessee surprised her husband Steve Winfree with news that she’s his kidney donor match by gifting him a pack of cards — with a very special message inside.

Steve, who started dialysis for kidney disease in November, loves baseball cards and uses them as a distraction from his condition. So, the Atlanta Braves fan wasn’t totally startled when his wife gave him a pack of Topps cards with players like Mike Trout and Clint Frazier.

“There were a lot of times where he would be in the hospital and I would grab a pack and we would open them,” Heather explained to MLB.com. “The low-key fun gets our minds off of the every day stresses.”
