When John Schneider isn’t managing the Toronto Blue Jays, he’s busy taking his wife out to lunch and saving lives at the same time.
At least, that was the scene a couple weeks ago.
Speaking to Sportsnet’s Hazel Mae and Shi Davidi, Schneider said while he was out for lunch he saw a woman choking and struggling to breathe, with people around her not knowing what to do.
Schneider, who’d learned the Heimlich Maneuver in high school, then walked over to offer help.
It turns out Schneider definitely listened in school because he successfully performed the maneuver despite not being sure if he remembered how to do it, and saved the woman by dislodging a piece of shrimp.

Schneider, 43, took over as Blue Jays manager on an interim basis after Charlie Montoyo was fired last season, leading the team to a 46-28 record to finish the 2022 campaign.
The Blue Jays removed Schneider’s interim tag and signed him to an extension in October.
