Two women with matching blood types and conflicting baseball interests enjoyed yesterday’s matinee encounter between the 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. The true reason behind their get-together at Fenway will transpire inside a Beth Israel Hospital operating room on Tuesday.
Stone, the Internet sales director for Blanchard’s West Roxbury Inc., is experiencing kidney failure due to an ongoing struggle with diabetes.
Kelly, a retired pediatrician from the Twin Cities, is an altruistic donor who proved to be a match for Stone.
