Former South Alabama star Luis Gonzalez is more than just a baseball hero in Arizona nowadays.

Gonzalez, 49, helped a woman escape a fiery wreck on Friday in Arizona, according to multiple reports. The Arizona Republic reported that Gonzalez and two other men pulled the woman to safety after a car next to hers burst into flames following a traffic accident.
