Nomar the Hero

Nomar and his uncle rescued two women who fell into the water recently.

As soon as the All-Star shortstop and two-time American League batting champ ran out the door to help the woman, her friend also fell in, hitting her head on the pier, said Victor Garciaparra, who oversees his nephew’s business and charitable ventures.
Victor Garciaparra jumped from the balcony to the water 20 feet below.
“I swam towards them and by the time I reached them, Nomar was already there holding the girls up,” he told the newspaper. “But he couldn’t get them up without help.”

Kudos to Nomar and his uncle. I hope the women come forward to tell their side of the story. I’d like to know how two of them fell in. It doesn’t sound like one pulled the other.
Someone should turn this into a comic book. Aqua-Nomar and his side kick Barnicle Vic.

    A writer once said that more people didn’t become heroes because of back problems. It sounds like Nomar”s well again.
