John Tumpane was one of my instructors at Wendelstedt Umpire Academy and was nothing short of a life changing teacher. God bless you, sir.
He was also one of my instructors at Wendelstedt. He had us cracking up every morning.
Nice to hear your good memory and gratitude expressed. Thank you.
It's beautiful how much of an effect one man can have on so many people's lives. I'm sure it wont be his last.
Shut the fuck up!!
He wasn't there when I went. Too bad.
The way the announcer told this story is minorly heroic also
"placed on a mat there's the second out"
To be fair, he is a professional story teller. But you're right, he described it beautifully.
Only Scully could have done it better.
A Baller I’m sorry for your loss
Yes after lunch AND a run he fit in thwarting a suicide
He not only was attentive to her from a distance.
He was AWARE to know what "i want to see the city from the other side" meant.
This man sounds incredible and also well trained in suicide awareness 💛💛💛💛💛
To be aware of what she meant by “other side” is amazing. What an amazing human being!
And the saddest thing is, he risked so much of his own life by grabbing her and holding her. Nothing but praise for this act of heroism. There needs to be more people like him in this world.
a man of true conviction, he knew what he was doing the whole entire time.
I love that the other commentator lets the story be told.
Nick Currie me too !
What are they gonna do? Cut him off and look like an ass on tv?
The one, the only 1971 World series game 7 winner Mr Steve Blass.
YESSS!!!! Finally!!! It's great that someone else recognize that!
Top comment! (No pun)
Thanks.
apaulo11 (They?).. No, what the other guy didn’t do was make dopey agreement noises and try and become part of the story. Just watch any interview or other dual mike situation and see what most of them do.. It’s very annoying!
This story never gets old, that's a true hero behind home plate
meh, he should have mind his own business. Fuck these people who have no problems in life, trying to strong arm ppl in to seeing things that aren't totally fucked up.
@@Shakawhenthewallsfell102 Fuck you.
Shaka when the walls fell
how do you know Tumpane doesn’t have his own problems?
You can say people can do what they want with their lives, and I’d agree. And yet trying to save someone’s life isnt “strong-arming”; it was morally right to save her life.
The difference between assisted suicide and actual suicide is the one committing the latter has a mental condition, a condition that can be treated.
Almost all the people with a history of failed suicide attempts will tell you they’re glad they’re alive.
@@Shakawhenthewallsfell102 Exactly. People like that can't possibly understand how rough some people's lives are. It's that high-and-mighty attitude that pisses people off even more. Everyone thinks they're doing such a service by forcing someone to suffer while they enjoy their care-free lifestyle.
@@crackrokmccaib but things do get better. Not immediately, but they always do. You just have to have the courage and the strength to overcome yourself. You on the other hand have become apathetic; you no longer care for life or your own which is clearly shown by your misunderstanding of human nature and right from wrong
How fitting this happened on the Roberto Clemente Bridge. One of greatest players and humanitarians, would have been very proud of you. Who knows, maybe his spirit was there helping you hang onto to the woman in a desperate situation. You can tell Trumpane is one of those truly good selfless people. Very inspiring . I hope she can find the help she needs 👍
I was watching without sound thinking that the umpire saved someone during the game
theREALomi same
Oh-
🤦♂️
He saved a suicidal woman, and you saved us mute watchers from wasting almost 4 minutes. HERO!!!!
Lmao
He was later reported to have yelled "Safe" at her when it was over.
NoIsaidposse underrated comment
NoIsaidposse omg lol
NoIsaidposse more likes pls
Lol
😂😂😂
God bless this brave man.
Garrett Spencer Sir, that doesn’t make sense. Men may commit the greater share of suicides, but some women do as well.
Garrett Spencer Reason would suggest that not all people who commit suicide are men. Quit being silly.
Garrett Spencer Your original statement was that women (plural) don’t commit suicide. That means all women do not commit suicide. Just on the sheer numbers of women worldwide that there are, reason says there’s bound to be some that will kill themselves. I’m sure someplace there are statistics which can verify that. Sir, I’m right, you’re wrong. Even if one woman throughout history has committed suicide, that would disprove what you said, Now, go drink your milk, go to bed, and get ready to go to work in the morning. This will be my last response to you.
Garrett Spencer if the man had not done what he did, this emotional woman may have killed herself. He didn’t know, so he wasn’t going to take a chance. Had she not committed suicide had he ignored her, no harm, no foul. Had he ignored her and she followed through with suicide, he would have been haunted with guilt for the rest of his days. A mature person with decency and common sense would have reacted likewise. End of issue. Have a good day.
Garrett Spencer We will never agree on this one.
I saved a young lady's life in college much the same way when I was an RA in college. Good for you, Blue! Proud of you.
Fairest Ump in MLB. What a genuinely good guy all around. He better get in the Hall of Fame one day for being an unsung hero.
Unforgettable story! It's almost as if the game took a small break as this story was being told to the viewers. Great job ump!
Brad Beach nah that’s just how slow and boring baseball is
I thought the same thing. The baseball gods directed that AB.
Yeah I noticed that to. Seemed as if the slowed down even more, to let the story be told.
@@blaise4468 :Then why are you here?
Go away and let us baseball fans enjoy a story about the inherent goodness of man so we can forget about the lunatic in the Oval Office (undoubtedly your favorite wannabe dictator) for a while.
I felt that way too.
You are an admirable man, John Tumpane.
surferpam1 That's Why I'm Glad To Be A Pittsburghese
You have many reasons to be proud, Wolflet3 -- because of Tumpane, because of the nature of all the hard-working people who help make up the backbone of this country and because of people such as *you* who appreciate goodness and decency. I stand proud calling you, Tumpane *and* the city of Pittsburgh my brother(s) and sisters. Sign me, all respect from a Los Angeles Dodgers fan.
t-UMP-ane
This is a big deal.
Laminar flow is a big deal
Saving a life is always a big deal.. As every life has something to offer. It just takes some a life time to find that out....
Hey destine
Snatch blocks are an even bigger deal!
no idea why you felt the need to tell everyone this
Touching and unforgettable. Wherever she is now, I hope she knows that there are people who still care today.
If only the whole world cared for each other like they do in this story.
The human race can do amazing things when working together.
Justin Humphrey yet as we are, we still do amazing things.
People care, but there's no way to care for everyone and everything equally all the time. During the day-to-day, our priorities and concentration shift and shift and shift again.
Sometimes it takes a big emotional moment, something tragic, or near-tragic in this case, to bring out that care. But it was there underneath all along.
Hendog Well don’t take any of that seriously. People just like messing with each other on youtube, it doesn’t mean that the world is falling apart.
g fox it shouldn’t take something tragic to happen for people to care though, that is the issue in general. No, maybe you can’t care for everyone equally all the time, the problem is that no one cares most of the time and when you do it’s too late. It should just be second nature to help others ... this story should be normal, not triumphant
It shouldn't, but that's the way the human attention span works together with our minds/emotions.
Suicide is never the answer. If you have thoughts of suicide, seek immediate help. My hats off to Tumpane. I think that the umpiring job is not respected enough that we fail to realize that these men are also everyday people who want to help others if need be.
Red Card yeah he is a good person
Suicide can absolutely be the answer. I'd never advocate it, but anyone who says suicide is never the answer has never been in a situation where it could well be.
not to be uh depressing, but how do you know that suicide isn't the answer? how can you provide a solution for a problem that is someone else's? who knows, when you die, you might actually be in a better place than you are now
jigglymabob it isn't the answer and never will be. Simply put all it does is transfer the suffering, pain, depression and guilt onto those who loved them and/or those who found them. I lived with depression for over 30 years. I have had suicidal thoughts at my lowest points but I know through experience that if you can get up and keep active rather than sit and dwell it helps. Seeking professional help and openly talking about it also makes it easier to live a productive and happier life. Does depression ever really go away no but if you take it out of the dark lonely places it gets easier.
but if it ends your pain, isn't that what matters? why should other people's pain be of more consideration than your own? if you live in pain for the sake of others not being in pain, thats a horrible way to live isn't it?
After two suicides in my immediate family this literally brought tears to me eye
I can't even imagine how devastating that would be. I hope you're ok from those traumatic experiences. I'm sorry for your losses.
💖
I "only" have one. These types of stories hit on a very personal level.
I'm really really sorry for your loss! I know the pain will never fully go away, but please just take it one step at a time
I am sorry for your loss.
Wow he was in the right place at the right time. 3 years later I hope she's doing ok.
Thank you John. You saved a poor woman from certain death. You are a hero to all of us.
I am not a big baseball fan but this is more than just baseball, this is a man who saved a life that was bad in her eyes but he knew that it was gonna be alright. This dude is more than an ump he is a hero. God bless this man.
Respect to the announcer for acknowledging the man for what he is, a hero.
That's a heart warming story. What a kind hearted person.
What a story... what a hero. I hope the woman is doing better. I hope she realizes how valuable life is and that her life was worth saving. Way to go ump!
No I'm ok I got something in my eye -this announcer deserves an Emmy award for outstanding reporting
Greg Brown, he’s been the playbyplay man for the Pirates for 20 years. Great man, amazing broadcaster.
Thanks to Greg Brown for sharing this story
You must mean a RTDNA or Pulitzer award, as the announcer is reading it from a newspaper/site. 1:55
After all he experienced that same day, he goes out and umpires an MLB game. Incredibly strong mind.
I have newfound and full respect for Tumpane. I'd honestly wanna help too if that was me in his place. I was suicidal for a while a few years ago, and I've learned since that no one deserves to really be alone. Especially not in dark times or times of turbulance. I hope the woman is doing much better, I'll be praying
I'm really happy that you didn't take action on any of your thoughts!!
🙏
@@jarodestes1491 I almost did. Then a friend called for help before I did anything
Emily - So thankful and grateful that you're doing better. Really hopeful that you have a good support system currently and going forward to buoy you when it's needed most.
Hope you're still doing well. Those of us that have been to that point and have stared into that dark hellish place know how incredibly painful it is and how long it can take to get yourself back from it. I wouldn't wish those thoughts and feelings on my worst enemy. It is something that a person will never forget. Hope the lady involved in the story is doing better.
This is the kind of news that we need every day not the crap we endure every day well done
You mean flood the masses with real life positive things? Forget about it
That’s amazing, he’s a great guy and everyone wants people to care for them. She just wanted someone to show her they cared.
What if someone suddenly hit a home run as the announcer was telling this story? Would he have to just stop and start saying “HIT HIGH AND DEEP TO RIGHT!”
It's edited well
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Probably!
Greg Brown would have calmly and with stoicism in his voice announced it.
The Rays were at bat, not the Pirates. Hes called calm plays before. Lol that is funny tho
or if someone hit one in the river...oops
The world needs more people like tumpane
How can some people seriously hit the thumbs down on this story?!
This man is a hero!
God Bless You, Sir, but then He already has.
Only "haters" can hit the thumb down. Incredible.
I downvoted because he is taking away a woman's right to choose.
@Barry Super Get out of here with that nonsense
@@breadwinner6921 Great comment lol
@@benwilson6559 Well at least one person can decipher bait.
Good work, Mr. Tumpane. A lot of people wouldn't have cared. Thank you for your courage and help.
Really hard not to tear up hearing this. God bless John Tumpane, and God bless the woman he saved.
Not all heros wear masks. But this one does.
It's not all hero's where caps
@@nathanielmcdonald17 LOL What a smart comeback. Well done sir.
This is the most ironic comment ever seeing as its prior to 2020
@@RW-zh7kl lol good observation!
@@RW-zh7kl then all of us can be A HERO now
Humanity can be cruel but it is also so beautiful
Well said. I think sometimes we forget that.
God I love this game so much. I know its not the most popular anymore especially with the kids nowadays but there are so many amazing stories told during a game usually coming from experiences from other ballplayers, coaches, umpires and broadcasters. Its so much more than just a game.
A truly moving and inspirational man. The tone of which the announcer delivered the content was perfect and heartfelt.
Thank you for your help and prayers Mr. Tumpane. You're a true Hero!
"As the woman was laid on the mat, Tumpane emotionally stretches both arms out from side to side and with a single tear he yells 'SAFE!'"
Jameson Bornholdt U copied that off of some other comment
JustATypicalGuy I never even read any comments 😂 But you're right. I just now saw it. That's interesting haha
Jameson Bornholdt r/oopsididntmeantoo
Gone Bonkers ep2 damn you said that before me.
Dj Sinns
Read their reply, they acknowledged it.
God bless you John. Most people just stand around and just watch things like this happen with out ever thinking of taking action. Just remember that even the smallest gesture of kindness can make someone’s day or even save a life.
Amazing. Tumpane should be given a medal for his heroic act. Simply Amazing.
Give this man a Congressional Medal of Honor!
Great story...a real hero with a heart.
God bless you Mr.Tumpane! 😇💜 True humanitarian, and you were her angel that day!
Meanwhile the Rays fail to score with a runner on 3rd and less than two outs AGAIN....
Fire Dolphin OF COURSE
This comment wins
Typical Rays fashion. Why is it that they have some of the best field teams in the country, but are one of the worst professional teams in baseball?
Mason Hamilton and we blew it to the Phillies lol
Nifty Noldog, terrible like 9-3 and leading the Central? Terrible like Polanco leading the league in RBIs? Terrible like Williams leading the league with a 3-0 record? Terrible like Tallion winning NL Player of the Week? Glad you’re here to keep us straight.
I like this announcer.....Never heard him before but he sounds very good.
That's unbelieveable. My how times have changed. An umpire out jogging
Glad he had the overall strength.
Right! I'm old enough to remember the days when MLB hired umpires by the pound.
Yeah with Covid you can't just go jogging anymore
Joe west
What an AMAZING story!!! God Bless this guy!! And hopefully that lady got proper help!!
“A hero can be anybody. Even a man doing something as simple as putting a coat around a young boys shoulders to let him know the world hadn’t ended.”
Wonder were you got that from
@@andrewcalzia7083 the dark knight rises
@@jmr5059 I know were it came from, I was being a smart a@#
A CLEAN SLATE!!!!
Excellent thought. A little creepy though.
That’s a hero. Saving someone’s life. God bless him and her
That's an awesome story of human decency. *Full* respect to Tumpane! Honestly, though, what I find still more amazing--although of course not nearly as important--is that after saving the lady he was able to think clearly enough to call a major-league baseball game later the same day.
Fantastic John! You are a hero my friend and a good way to tell the story.
Tumpane showed his humanity for life as he shows his abilities as an umpire, and especially to have to take the plate after that ordeal had to have been hard, but he didn't take it to the game, and didn't brag or make a big to do over it.
This man is a hero. He should never be forgotten
That man behind home plate... I don't know what to say. He's a hero and so much more than that.
Heroes come from all walks of life. Thanks ump.
God bless this ump. FOREVER!!!!
What is amazing is the commentator started what is a fairly long story fully confident that nothing significant would happen in the next 4 minutes. Such confidence in the batters.
He’s a good man. Most people now a days would have just watch and recorded it for social media. He’s a hero in my eyes
I hate my uncle. But another uncle i loved killed himself and it crushed me. He was a man that got in to deep trouble and beat his wife while high on cocaine then got in to a high speed chase with the cops. Served several years in jail and found god while in the pen.
He came put a different man, a kind loving man always there to help in any way he could. Built his own company from nothing. He later killed himself after the company went under because he was too kind and let too many people slide on payments.
He killed himself because he couldn't stand to be looked at as a failure again.
After the funeral my uncle that I hate said words to me that will always stick to me and I will pass to anyone to try and help.
He said "suicide is a permanent fix to a temporary problem". Never let yourself feel like there is no other option. I miss my uncle everyday.
You shouldn’t hate your uncle
My ex started to zone out, while I was in the passenger seat. We were going 60 mph on the highway. Though I ended the relationship for fear of my own safety, he has since died - of Alzheimer's. He was never suicidal, but deeply troubled. I tried getting in touch with his family, his Doctor, and his friends. Sometimes it helped, sometimes not. But I don't regret that part. Who can fathom the depths of the human heart and spirit? Should we step in whenever we can, and extend a hand, to another soul in pain? Of course. And to those who think, "Hey, not my problem - why should I care?" I pity them. Over and out.
Good play by the ump. Kind of poetic that it took place on the "Roberto Clemente Bridge", as he was such a benevolent human being (actually nominated for Sainthood), and the woman was rescued by an MLB official.
Rich Richard My thoughts exactly.
Clemente a great player and turns out an even greater man
Wow. That's so amazing! God bless Tumpane for saving that woman's life. Even umpires can make a difference in the world.
That raises my hopes for humanity. Great job, John. You ARE a hero. I hope and pray everything worked out for that woman.
We need more people like this man! Bless this man
I hope that lady is doing okay now. Great job by this guy and everyone that helped
John seems like a good man. Good thing he was there in that moment as others came to help as well. I'm glad he prayed for her when things were calming down. Hopefully the woman makes a good recovery.
Tumpane will never forget her, and I will never forget Tumpane. Respect 🙏🏼
A true hero Bless his heart
Tumpane had always been a great ump to me and great guy and it shows here. These umps are under a lot of stress on the field and can act like the biggest assholes but when am in the moment thing happens we see what kind of guys these umps rlly r. So the next time you go to yell at an ump remember this story
You said it correct there, pharohthecat.
U in the mlb
The fact that this was the first time I’d ever heard of him probably shows he’s good at being an umpire, too.
pharohthecat his actions do not reflect those of all MLB umpires. I’m sure there are plenty that would not have been so heroic. Respect to this guy but don’t act like he just earned every big league ump the same.
So you can't judge an umps in-game calls because one of them did something heroic? Lol
Poor woman ….. lost in life with no way out because she doesn’t realize there’s hope …. There’s always hope . The guys a saint , god bless and keep them both 🙏
"I'll never forget you. You have my word on that."
I want to shake this man's hand someday. This story is touching someone's life right now.
That is just an incredible story. I can’t put into words just how heroic this gentleman is. We see umpires as these nondescript things behind masks that everyone gets pissed at, but they are people with hearts, just like the rest of us. Good on him. He deserves every single accolade he gets from this act. BRAVO!
God bless that man. You can tell that by looking at him his mind is still on that bridge. Wow.
This is a tremendous story I'm proud of this umpire. We all here for a reason on this earth.
Even though I’m a huge baseball fan I certainly didn’t mind missing out on the broadcast of this game as the story of the heroic deed of the umpire had to be told. A class act.
A true hero. Their are good people out there.
He only did it to make himself look good. That's not heroic, it's selfish.
He is a true hero.
Firefighters In Action and he said....im No a hero mam ...Just an Umpire.
God bless people like that we need that now more than ever....
The actions and words of John paint a beautiful picture of God’s love for us. Well done John!
"There goes my hero, watch him as he goes" !!! Foo Fighters! Good call Blue!!
John Tumpane is a real hero...
Great great man god bless you your a true Hero, not many people would've done what you done for that young lady kudos to you sir" once again God Bless You & God Bless That woman, maybe she'll Get the Help she TRULY needs thanks to you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow. This story and the storyteller are incredible. Talk about a regular guy doing something amazing
Thank you so much. Angels are everywhere, her angel wears a umpire mask
Wow! A great man! A true hero! Great job and God bless you Mr. Tumpane ❤️🙏🏻
The umpire doesn't look like he's into.the game mentally, he looks like his mind is replaying that afternoon nonstop, great job blue, you are a hero
This got me choked up, brought a tear to my eyes. What a phenomenal human being..
An umpire calls "You're Safe!"
PacificWest117 no, it's perfect. If she jumped, and an ump said "You're out!" Then it would be a little messed up.
Walk!
Balls
Home run!
Just curious...what 1,400+ people would thumbs-down this? What a world we live in. Thank you, ump, for your courage and love for life.
;
If you’ve been there, you know all about it. God bless this man.
Respect and respect to that beautiful story teller
This story gave me goosebumps, god bless him. It’s crazy to know that some people see what’s going on an know in there heads what’s about to happen an just keep walking an driving bye. They made a video in 2006 of the Golden Gate Bridge called ‘The Bridge’ an they had 30 suicides in that 1 year an maybe 1 out of those 30 where saved by a man who grabbed the lady’s arms an pulled her back over. It’s just crazy to watch the people just walk by an just stare at these people as they sit an think about it then just jump. I would feel guilty if I seen that an didn’t do anything about it. 30 people lost there lives cause people just walked bye or stopped an just stared at them before there last moments. So god bless him for he did for her. Nothing but love an respect for that man. Good for you dude....
He's a good egg.!!
He's a great Ump.
But most of all....
He's an Amazing Person
Your act of bravery and compassion, Mr. Tumpane, the kind of man you are, will comfort and guide her for decades to come.
He's a hero!! A caring person
This guy is a true hero.
Aww I thought he did it during the game. I actually remember watching this broadcast. Good for him. This brought tears to my eyes.
I've been in that situation I still remember every detail. My favorite moment is when I got a hug from the person I saved three months later saying how much I changed there life.
But good job Ump for helping that person and waiting for help to get there. I hope you've crossed paths or will sometime in the future.
Unsung heroes, every day.
