Bystanders save baseball fan at Pittsburgh stadium

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Cincinnati Reds fan Charles Trimble may consider switching his allegiance to Pittsburgh’s team after bystanders at a Pirates game helped save his life.

The 60-year-old Trimble suffered cardiac arrest during a Pirates-Reds game at PNC Park in Pittsburgh on Aug. 23.

After he slumped over in his seat, a doctor sitting nearby began CPR. Stadium staff grabbed a portable defibrillator, and a nurse and emergency medical technician in the crowd also helped out.

Trimble, who lives in the northwestern Pennsylvania town of Corry, was still recovering in a Pittsburgh hospital Tuesday. He was in good spirits — and wore a Pirates cap.

But Trimble says he’s still a Reds fan at heart.
