It was an eventful Saturday afternoon for Blue Jays manager John Schneider.
Schneider and his wife were out at lunch near the team’s spring training facility in Dunedin, Fla. when a woman at another table was choking on a piece of shrimp and couldn’t breathe. Schneider reportedly rushed to the woman’s aid, performed the Heimlich Maneuver and saved her life, according to a report from sportscaster Hazel Mae.
Schneider told Blue Jays reporter Keegan Matheson that he first learned the Heimlich Maneuver in the sixth grade, and that he earned a free beer from the restaurant for his emergency aid.
