Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: He's a happy Fella: John Loach two years ago received a kidney transplant. But that hasn't stopped him playing softball. He's a third baseman with the Forward Flyers in the Beaches Inter-Church Softball League and has become an inspiration to people suffering from kidney disease. His doctor doesn't mind him playing sports as long as he doesn't get hit with a ball in the area near the kidney.
