NJ Coach Gets Liver Transplant From Former Player Killed in Car Crash

CBS New York

BERGENFIELD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Bergenfield baseball coach Ed Mooney said “it broke me – big time” when he received word that the liver he desperately needed was available — and that it was from one of his former players, who died of injuries suffered in a car crash.

“How do you say ‘thank you’ and ‘I’m sorry’ at the same time?” Mooney remembers saying.

The 52-year-old Mooney said Dan Glover, 24, was just the sort of person who would donate his organs.

“I’m not shocked Danny did something like this,” he said.
