John Schneider, the manager of the Toronto Blue Jays of the American MLB, became an everyday hero this past weekend. He was eating on Saturday with his wife in a restaurant near the facilities in Florida (USA) where the team carries out the Spring Trainingspring training prior to the return to competition, when a life or death situation arose.
A woman choked on a shrimp and lost her breath. Something had to be done and it was Schneider who decided to perform the Heimlich Maneuver, the mechanism designed to unobstruct the airways. He managed to save his life.
Curious was the reward that the American executive received from the business in which the events occurred: free beer. “I was a bit in shock after what happened, so it came in handy,” he said. a reporter present at the scene.
