Kidney donor-to-be, recipient meet at Red Sox game

Two women with matching blood types and conflicting baseball interests enjoyed yesterday’s matinee encounter between the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins at Fenway Park.

Eden Stone of West Roxbury and Paula Kelly of St. Paul, Minn., met for the first time in Pavilion Section 2 for a fun day of baseball under clearing skies and moderate temperatures in the Back Bay.

The true nature of their get together at Fenway Park will transpire inside an operating room at Beth Israel Hospital on Tuesday.

Stone, the internet sales director for Blanchard’s West Roxbury Inc., was experiencing kidney failure due to an ongoing struggle with diabetes.
