Just got this storyline, bit of a typo but still needs fix.

San Diego Padres 1B Yonder Alonso has decided to retire from baseball in order to donate a kidney to his cousin. Doctors say Alonso's sister, who has advanced kidney disease, probably won't survive without a new organ. "As much as I love the game of baseball, I love my sister more," said Alonso. "I'm just doing what I would hope someone would do for me if I needed it." Cameron Maybin had nothing but praise for his teammate. "Yonder is such an incredible guy. To walk away from all of this to help someone he cares about just shows how much class he has." His manager, Bud Black, was equally impressed with Alonso's generosity. "It takes a lot of character to make a sacrifice like that. We wish him and his sister all the best and we'll definitely be praying for their speedy recovery."

So was it his cousin or his sister?
