Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider was in the right place at the right time for a life-saying moment Saturday afternoon.
Schneider, attending his first spring training as the club’s skipper, was eating lunch with his wife at a restaurant in the Dunedin, Florida area when a woman started choking on her meal and required first aid. The problem, however, is nobody at her table knew what to do.
Realizing that was the case, Schneider got up from his seat to offer assistance and started performing the Heimlich maneuver, ultimately saving the woman’s life. Afterwards, the 43-year-old received a free beer for his heroic efforts, which helped calm his racing heart rate.
