Mets legend Ed Kranepool has found kidney he needs

Ed Kranepool is finally getting his wish.

The Mets legend is due to get a new kidney next month, Kranepool and the team confirmed Monday. Kranepool will be at Citi Field prior to Monday’s game against the Phillies to talk about the procedure.

The 74-year-old has battled diabetes and other serious health issues for years and has been in need of a kidney transplant since at least last year, when the Mets got involved and Kranepool and the organization made a public plea for help.

It came from an anonymous donor, according to the team.
