Rod Carew got a second chance at life in December after receiving a new heart and kidney from former NFL tight end Konrad Reuland, who died from a brain aneurysm at the age of 29.

The Hall of Famer recently sat down with Reuland's mother, Mary, and allowed her to listen to her son's heartbeat again through him.

"It was miraculous," Mary told NBC Nightly News. "It was just a wonderful thing to be able to hear a part of my son still here on Earth."
