Ed Hearn Updates!
World Series Champions!
August 2026
What a blessed sight to see in NYC! Trish and I traveled east to the BIG APPLE for the 40th anniversary celebration of my Mets World Series team at Citi Field. It was AMAZING to see my old friends and teammates and to visit the city where we brought home a CHAMPIONSHIP!
We felt the LOVE from the fans and the place that changed our lives during our epic run to the ring. Our visit flew by so fast but we are grateful to our friends and their families and to the Mets organization for the first-class treatment and accommodations. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
Speaking of rings… did you know that ME, your humble Eddie Hearn, holds a unique baseball history fact you can use during your next trivial pursuit game? Yes Sir! I am the only baseball player to win FOUR consecutive championship rings at all four FOUR class levels (A-AA-AAA-MLB) with the same organization? Yep! All with the Mets. Pretty cool, eh?
In addition to the baseball activities happening at Citi Field I was interviewed by a few reporters about my career, my family, my life and my spiritual journey. Please take a look at these articles when you have a moment.

The Gift of Life (and Lisa)
August 2026
The day before Saturday’s 40th anniversary celebration of my Mets World Series Championship team at Citi Field, Tricia and I had the fabulous opportunity to reunite with a very special woman who I had not seen in 40 years. Lisa Wolf, originally from Islip, NY, now resides in Norfolk, VA. What a blessed reunion with her and her husband, Jim, who himself had a heart transplant just eight years ago!
Lisa was a huge Mets fan her entire life, and after she saw my posts about needing another kidney, she decided to get tested herself. Even though she wasn’t a direct match, she donated in my name through the National Kidney Registry voucher program, and that gift moved me to the top of the transplant list. So in May 2023, I received my fourth kidney transplant at the University of Minnesota. Lisa’s kidney went to another woman, but her decision set in motion the match that saved my life.
Thank you so much, Lisa!

The pills, the shots, the scans, the bandages… it never stop. Life is HARD! I’ve been going thru HELL with the support of my #1, Trish. She is my rock and I tell everyone I meet how lucky I am to have her in my life. I always say, “Trish kissed a prince and got a frog!“
Love you Trish honey!

A Man of the People!
April 2026
I recently had the pleasure to appear and MEET THE PEOPLE at Lucky’s Long Island Expo hosted at Hofstra University (David S. Mack Center) in Hempstead, NY! It was awesome to see my old friends, meet my amazing fans and celebrate the 1986 World Series Championship. It’s been 40 years… WOW!
Check out this video of THE FANS! (This link will open Facebook and take you to the show!)
This summer I am looking forward to seeing more of my teammates and even more Mets fans back in NYC as we HONOR the great victory for the city! I am blessed beyond words for God’s grace and the ability to have played the game I love for the city and people I love. See you all in August! GO METS!
Keep swinging!

Kansas Independent Oil & Gas Association
April 2026
I once again HIT THE ROAD to Garden City, KS as the featured keynote speaker for the Kansas Independent Oil & Gas Association (KIOGA) conference, presenting my motivational message titled “Think outside yourself.” It was my pleasure to meet so many dedicated professionals (and baseball fans)! Amid the global concerns due to issues involving Iran, the Strait of Hormuz and the entire Middle Eastern oil and gas production, the timing of my program couldn’t have been better. It was a mostly male audience made up of independent oil and natural gas producers in the great state of Kansas.
These days I will rarely travel by car to an event 5+ hours each way, but with flights being so challenging to this specific part of the state I bit the bullet and hit the road! Well, the trip out was real smooth, but on the way back to KC we caught up with a major line of thunderstorms filled with a variety of ugly stuff including tornadoes, hail, and nasty lightning. This expanded our trip home to a tough 8-hour drive. Next time I think I’ll hit up one of the wealthy oil guys for a short flight on one of their many jets!

MN to TN for CDL Nuclear Technologies
January 2026
My 2.5 yr old kidney transplant has been diagnosed with simultaneous double rejection. NOT GOOD. So, Tricia and I just spent 10 days inpatient in Minneapolis receiving full force treatment meant to hopefully put this in remission and save my kidney.
Now for something a little more encouraging… Though I was worn to the bone, I was under contract to be the keynote speaker at a Corporate Annual Conference in Nashville a couple days after getting out of the hospital. So long story short, with a tremendous lift from my angel, Trish, we flew to Nashville, sucked up the fatigue and side effects of 9 days of IV power meds and gave this wonderful group everything I had.
Why, because this is my passion, this is what gives me great joy. The following note is just one of several we’ve received already, only three days after the event in Nashville.
“Hi Ed, I wanted to personally thank you for the truly inspirational and heartfelt presentation you shared at our conference. Your willingness to speak so openly about your personal trials, health journey, and lived experience with disability was both powerful and deeply moving. Your story resonated strongly with our audience and sparked meaningful reflection, connection, and conversation. Many attendees shared how impactful they found your message—not only for its honesty, but for the strength, optimism, and perspective you brought to it. It was a privilege to learn from you. Thank you for your authenticity, vulnerability, and for reminding us of the power of resilience and compassion. We are very grateful you took the time to be part of our event.”
With sincere appreciation,
Sr. Director of Mobile Operations
CDL Nuclear Technologies
