In the grand scheme of things, it’s just a game, right?
Sure, a lot of Royals fans were upset with umpire John Tumpane because of his strike zone in Sunday’s loss to the Blue Jays. Royals pitcher Peter Moylan was particularly incensed and was ejected after he was taken out of the game.
Tumpane may have been public enemy No. 1 in Kansas City, but he’s a hero today.
According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Tumpane saved a woman who was on the wrong side of the railing of a bridge. That story says he had just finished a run at about 3 p.
