A Real True Bronx Hero

A 39 year old Bronx man today became a hero when he caught an infant whose mother tossed it from a window of a burning building. The mother was screaming save my baby when Felix Vasquez took action (along with other neighbors) and caught the baby in his arms. The baby wasn't breathing and Mr. Vasquez breathed life back into the child. Both the "catch" and the "breath of life" were the result of his being, the "catcher" on his company's baseball team & his training as a life guard twenty years ago. Our thanks and congratulations to our hero Mr.Vasquez, who, like many New Yorkers, could have instead just minded his own business and went his own way.
