An MLB umpire who was simply in town to work a baseball game this week ended up saving a life.
John Tumpane, an official for the current Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Tampa Bay Rays series, was crossing Pittsburgh’s Roberto Clemente Bridge around 3 p.m. on Wednesday when he saw a woman climb over the bridge’s railing.
“Obviously, that grabbed my attention,” the 34-year-old explained in an interview prior to Wednesday night’s game.
The woman reportedly told Tumpane she wanted to get a better view of the city from that side of the bridge, but he could tell something else was going through her mind.
