In baseball, it's usually the closer who makes the save. In this case, it was the manager who got the job done.
Blue Jays skipper John Schneider recently helped save a woman who was choking at a local restaurant, successfully applying the Heimlich manoeuvre to dislodge a shrimp that was blocking her air flow.
The incident occurred about two weeks ago at an establishment on the town's main drag, about three kilometres from the Blue Jays' player development complex. "I learned it in sixth grade and hadn't done it since," he said of the procedure, which involves strong pressure being applied to the abdomen.
