Joe Torre's daughter catches a baby who falls from the second story
http://espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/stor...ling-2nd-floor
NEW YORK -- The daughter of former New York Yankees manager Joe Torre is getting props from her dad for catching a baby boy who had tumbled off a second-floor fire escape in Brooklyn. Torre said in a statement Wednesday that he was "very proud of my daughter Cristina's actions today during an incident in Brooklyn involving a small child." Torre is now Major League Baseball's executive vice president of baseball operations. "I didn't really know what was going to happen. ... You just move into action -- you don't really think about it," Cristina Torre told the Daily News of New York. She was having coffee at a cupcake shop when bystanders saw the 1-year-old dangling from an awning of a frozen yogurt store next door. "I'm talking to him saying, 'Don't come down, stay there,'" she said. "He helped himself with his arms. He was dangling. I knew he would be flipping very soon." She said the child "literally landed in my arms." Torre credited her father for her "good hand-eye coordination." According to police, the child somehow climbed onto the fire escape. He was in stable condition. The parents were arrested and charged with reckless endangerment. |

The question is was she able to hold the mother at second after making the catch. Most mothers will tag up and try to advance after a sacrifice baby.

I was in the Corps with Joe's sister's oldest son. He was coaching the Yanks at the time. My buddy would have airline tickets and game tickets delivered to him in North Carolina. I wish we had been tighter. Those would have been some fun life experiences. Good kid. Quality family.

I understand that she was eating a doughnut, but I don't know if that qualifies as a form of stickum. That's pretty cool though. Small world. |
