  • Summary

  • On this week's episode of Inside Athletic Training, we welcome in Mike Sole and Jon Becker. Mike and Jon are former Yankees athletic trainers who formed an incredibly special bond outside of the game after meeting as young athletic trainers in the Yankees organization.

    In May 2022, after both had left the organization for other career paths, Sole grew ill and began suffering from constant fatigue and abdominal pain. By the following spring, he’d developed jaundice, swollen legs and mental fogginess. Doctors eventually determined Sole, then 30 years old, had developed blood clots in his liver, and an array of operations failed to provide a long-term solution. Sole needed a living liver transplant, which requires a living individual to donate part of their liver.

    Becker had already been assisting in Sole’s medical care, raising $25,000 on a GoFundMe page called “Mike Sole Needs a New Liver.” But when Becker learned his blood type matched Sole’s, he soon realized he could do even more. On Oct. 31, 2023, Becker and Sole successfully underwent the lifesaving joint procedure.
