Umpire Jim Joyce Saves Life After Administrating CPR To D’Backs Employee

Quote:We all remember Jim Joyce from “kicking the ****” out of Armando Galaragga’s perfect game. Even though Joyce blew that call, he is widely regarded as one of the best umpires in the game of baseball. And after what he did last night, he has also proved he is a one of the better human beings on the planet, saving a life of an Arizona Diamondbacks’ employee after she suffered a seizure.

Joyce, who knows how to perform CPR, acted quickly after seeing a poor woman struggling with a seizure. There was no one in the vicinity of the woman, outside of the umpiring crew, so Joyce acted on his instincts, using techniques he learned a long time ago.

Good for him.

If the MLB weren't stuck in the 20th Century, it would have instant replay, and Joyce's blown call would have been a non-story.
