Without his new family, UNC star pitcher Caden O’Brien might have been ‘in jail’ or ‘dead’
Posted Feb 26, 2019
Carol Cruse used to hate Sundays. She and husband Eddie Cruse would babysit their 3-month-old great nephew Caden O’Brien on Fridays and Saturdays, and on Sundays they had to return him to his parents. They’d hop in their green Chevrolet Blazer — Eddie in front and Carol in the back with the baby — and take the 30-minute drive from Maiden to Rhodhiss.
