How a kidney transplant bonded two baseball teammates' families together for life

Lisa Calla of Smithtown and Shannon Mulroy of West Islip became friends when their sons were teammates on the St. Anthony's High School baseball team. When Shannon's daughter Julia needed a new kidney, Lisa knew what she had to do. On July 2, the moms talked about the lifesaving transplant procedure and the bond that will keep these families together for life.
