One of the women who had fallen into the harbor had a bump on her head and was unconscious. By the time anyone else took action, Nomar Garciaparra already had the two women in his arms.

Both the women and nearby witnesses recognized the baseball player and were in disbelief. A witness told Chicago Tribune, “A bunch of us came running over and, sure enough, pulling the two girls from the water was Nomar. It was crazy. Nomar was like jumping over walls to get to the girls… It was unbelievable.”

How do these athletes know what to do in the heat of the moment? You won’t believe where one NHL player got his skills!
