Interview with Tom Walter head baseball coach at Wake Forest University
Talked with Tom Walter last night, at the Sherwood Tennis Center, where he was speaking at a dinner to boost the Page High School Baseball Program…
We talked about Wake Forest in last year’s college baseball World Series, his Demon Deacons being ranked #1 in the preseason and looking to get back to the CWS this season, we spoke about the Page High School baseball program and his support of local teams and schools, plus we talked on his days when he used to work for the local minor league baseball team, the Greensboro Bats…
All that and MORE in this interview, and great work here by Coach Tom Walter, and we knew him when he was working at the old War Memorial Stadium….

A very good part of the Tom Walter legacy at Wake Forest University:
Walter received national media attention prior to the 2011 season for donating his kidney to Wake Forest baseball player Kevin Jordan. In his senior year of high school, Jordan had developed ANCA vasculitis, a condition that severely affected his kidneys. After Jordan enrolled at Wake Forest in fall 2010, the condition did not improve, and by January 2011 he required a kidney transplant. Since none of Jordan’s family members qualified as a donor, Walter offered to be a kidney donor for Jordan. The February 2011 operation was successful, and Jordan was able to start his baseball career for Wake Forest in spring 2012.
