Wake Forest University baseball coach Tom Walter donated a kidney to freshman outfielder Kevin Jordan, a draft pick of the New York Yankees.

In a procedure performed yesterday at the Emory Transplant Center in Atlanta, Walter, 42, had a kidney removed and given to the 19-year-old Jordan, according to the university’s website. Both operations were a success and both men should make a full recovery, the website said.
