Yankees Fan Saves Choking Woman at the Game
Army medic John Stone was enjoying a game at Yankee Stadium Wednesday when he and his brother spotted a commotion ten rows in front of them: A woman was choking.

When it became obvious some fans sitting near her weren't succeeding in their efforts to do the Heimlich maneuver to help, Stone says, he went down and offered his assistance.

Next thing he knew, he was performing the maneuver.

And it worked. A piece of steak came flying out of Tobey Weiss, the wife of a prominent Bronx rabbi.

The Yankees have the greatest fans in the world.
