‘Miracle Met’ Ed Kranepool keeps faith as kidney search snags

Modal Trigger

Ed Kranepool at Citi Field on Wednesday as the Mets began celebrating the 50th anniversary of their 1969 "Miracle."

Ed Kranepool is behind in the count once again in his search for a kidney. The Miracle Met, though, continues to hope and dream for the best.

He was set for a kidney transplant in early January with a longtime friend being the donor, but plans fell through because of a health issue with the donor. The search continues.

The 74-year-old Kranepool endures with a thankful heart despite the setback.
