Arizona Diamondbacks WS hero Luis Gonzalez rescues woman from burning car

Luis Gonzalez came through in the clutch with the hit that won a World Series for the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2001. On Friday, he made a save … helping a woman from a burning car.

A friend who was in the car with the former Diamondback took to Twitter to post the heroics.

Artie Cuffari, 47, said he and a second friend were riding in a car with Gonzalez just after 5:30 p.m. Friday in the Paradise Valley area. He said a vehicle in front of them jumped the roadway median and smashed into the woman’s car head on.
