Major League Baseball umpire John Tumpane reportedly saved a woman from a railing on the Roberto Clemente Bridge Wednesday afternoon. Tumpane had an emotional conversation with the woman, making sure to express how much he cared for her despite her protestations to the contrary. It was a chance encounter for the umpire before he headed to PNC Park for Wednesday’s contest between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Tampa Bay Rays, but he performed a heroic act and likely saved the woman’s life.
