Former Royals catcher turns hero

Former Royals catcher John Buck, now with the Miami Marlins, saved two elderly women from an overturned car last week in Sunrise, Florida.

Here’s an excerpt from the PalmBeachPost.com:

“It wasn’t that serious,’’ he said. “But the car upside down and the way it landed, the two older ladies were pretty lucky.’’

Buck didn’t stick around too long – he was on his way to pick up his son from school.

“I pulled them out, then the police came, I gave my report and was like, ‘Guess my job’s over.’ So I took off.’’
